Using the Arizona Wuhan seafood market virus isolate, MN997409.1, run BLAST against the RefSeq Representative genomes (refseq_representative_genomes) database, limiting the search to Viruses (taxid: 10239) in the “Organism” field. From the hits returned, construct a phylogenetic tree (Distance tree of results). Examining the BLAST results and the Distance Tree select all that apply:

a)The non-Wuhan virus genome with the lowest E-value and highest identity is the SARS coronavirus

b)The distance tree suggests the Arizona virus is very different from the reference Wuhan seafood market virus isolate

c)The Distance tree suggests that the Wuhan viruses show similarity to a Bat coronavirus – BM48-31/BGR/2008

d)The White-eye corona virus show a significant hit, but with very low Query coverage

Consider a representative firm in the perfectly competitive market. This firm has the following total long-run cost function (C): C = 2q^2 + 8 where q is the output quantity produced by the firm. Suppose further that the market demand is given as: QD = 130-P where QD is the quantity demanded in the market and P is the output price. Find the long-run market equilibrium price and the number of firms in the market.
