Skin Color as a Diagnostic ClueWe could argue that it is the first organ to undergo decomposition. Given what you know about blood flow in the integument, why might this be? Skin Color as a Diagnostic Clue The color of skin and mucous membranes can provide clues for diagnosing certain conditions. The skin signs we talked about in class were pallor, cyanosis, jaundice, and erythema. Explain what each of these signs might indicate clinically ...

Task: Part A: Design a SpeciesIf you could genetically engineer any species of organism, what would it be? Would it be a unicorn? A dog-cat hybrid? Your own personal pet giant? Choose any species—real or not—that your imagination desires!Write a paragraph describing your species, what it looks like, and where it lives. Think of any inherited traits the species has that might help it survive in its environment. Thinking of these trait...
Part A: Collecting DataUsing the Gene Database In this unit activity, you will use a national gene database to identify gene mutations that contribute to different genetic disorders. You will also use the data you gather to make a model showing the patterns of inheritance. Part A: Collecting Data Choose any two genetic disorders. Use the NIH gene database to collect information about the heredity patterns of these genetic disord...

Question 1For any question, any combination of True or False is possible (i.e. all answers may be True, all answers may be False, or some may be True and some False).  1. A mouse, true-breeding for brown fur is crossed with a mouse, true-breeding for  white fur. All of the offspring are beige. The F2 generation segregate, 25% with brown fur, 50% with beige fur and 25% with white fur. A. Two genes regula...

Part A How did the research presented in the article affect scientists’ understanding of the evolution of eukaryotes? Part B Why is a “ring of life” more appropriate to describe the relationships between archaea,...
Demonstrate understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in metabolic pathways through the relationship between biochemical and biotechnological systems Demonstrate understanding and the ability to analyse the regulation of the relationship between metabolites and gene expression, and to report the results from a relevant experiment based on information available from a variety of sources Analyse the molecular and cellul...
Part 1 - Hormones in actionPart 1 – Hormones in action 1. [3 marks] Hormones are classified as water-soluble or fat-soluble. Fat-soluble hormones directly pass through the phospholipid membrane. Water-soluble hormones require a secondary messenger. Provide three water-soluble hormones and three fat-soluble hormones in the appropriate container. An example of each one has been provided. 2. [3 marks] Answer the ...
Background and GoalOne of the most fundamental hypotheses in all of Biological Oceanography is the Critical Depth Hypothesis, which puts forward a plausible mechanism to explain the initiation of phytoplankton blooms. While the term "Critical Depth" was coined by a famous Norwegian oceanographer named Harald Sverdup in his 1953 paper, the idea was originally developed in 1932, when oceanographers Atkins and Gran published the basic tenets...
Jay’s No-Good, Very Bad DayPART 1 – Jay’s No-Good, Very Bad Day1. Jay is a 39-year-old contractor in charge of overseeing the construction of several homes within the Durham region. At one of the construction sites, Jay inspects the progress of his more inexperienced crew as they frame the main floor of a house.

ObjectivesYou are a 9th-grade teacher who is preparing a lesson about invasive species. Most of your students are native speakers of English. However, you do have a beginner English learner, an intermediate English learner, and an advanced English learner in your class (Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced are referring to their English proficiency level). Your goal is to adapt the lesson plan below, so that both the native speakers...
Question 1: Analysis of the DNA mutations within the Phenylalanine hydroxylase gene in patients with phenylketonuriaAnswer The Following Questions1. a. Analysis of the DNA of the Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene in a patient with phenylketonuria revealed a single nucleotide change in the  gene. This mutation is within the protein coding region and its predicted effect would be to replace the amino acid aspartic acid, with histi...
Problems to solveProblems to solve 1.What are the probabilities of blood genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring from a cross between a mother with IAIA blood and a father with IBi blood?2. Hemophiliacs have blood that does not coagulate well, and they often die at a young age. The disease allele is recessive and X-linked. The normal allele (N) is completely dominant over the disease allele (n). If a hemophiliac woman and a non-hemophili...
