Sun, Autotrophs, and HeterotrophsIn this discussion, you will justify the dependence of life on the sun and the interdependence of living things and their chemistry. People who do not understand the relationships between biological processes on the planet may roll their eyes at the statement, "Life on this planet is a delicate balance." What evidence have you found in this course so far to support this statement? Consider: 1.The relationship ...

What happens if you run DNA on agarose gel with water instead of TAE or TBE?Task: 1. What would happen if you attempted to run DNA on an agarose gel with water instead of TAE or TBE? Why would this be the case?2. Answer the following questions:a)Using a DNA sample that is 0.2g/ul, set up a 20-l digestion with Bam HI containing 1 ug DNA, 10 units of enzyme (10,000U/mL) and the appropriate buffer. b)After digestion you want to stop the reac...
Background and context of the studyTask: There are two illustrations on the first page of these guidelines (See pdf for guidelines under "Files"). The first you are already familiar with: Kuhn’s five stage cyclical model for scientific revolutions. The second shows a series of phylogenic trees for the evolution of hominids. The trees represent updates to scientific knowledge over time as new scientific evidence came to light (1955, 1967, ...
Concept/Mechanism/Process1.Pick an interesting concept/mechanism/pathway in plant/animal development that you think shows broad conservation between species (e.g. a signaling pathway, a developmental mechanism, a family of transcription factors or a broad topic like limb patterning or stem cells) and write an “evo-devo” article.2.Your article will be a “comparative review” written from an “evo-devo” perspectiv...

Step 1: Underline Important Components of the Case HistoryYour assignment is to select one case history and answer the questions listed. Your answers should be written in narrative style, using complete sentences. One-sentence answers are not acceptable, as the questions involve more detailed answers. You may use outside sources in researching your case history. Please list your sources at the end of your answer using A...
Task: 1) We broadly discussed restoration ecology as a practice in class. However, we did not cover with much depth the specific approaches to restoration ecology in different biomes or types of ecosystems. Not diving into depth was by design: the principles and practices of stream restoration are vastly different than what is required to restore prairie ecosystems, for example. Consider just one of the three ecosystems, and associa...
List of conditions that could cause Ron's symptomsRon T., age 58, arrives in Orlando for the annual Medical Device Convention.
