In guinea pigs, black coat color is dominant over white, short hair is dominant over long, and rough coat is dominant over smooth. Show the Punnett Square for a cross between a homozygous black, short-haired, rough coat guinea pig and a homozygous white, long-haired, smooth coat guinea pig. What do the offspring look like?

Design Your Own Experiment: Musculoskeletal Fatigue Experiment
Inventory Material sFull Lab Kit Box Rubber Band Rubber Ball Labware*Stopwatch/Timer Note: You must provide the materials listed in *red. EXPERIMENT
3: DESIGN YOUR OWN EXPERIMENT: MUSCLE FATIGUE
Design an experiment to test temperature-independent musculoskeletal fatigue using any of the materials provided. IMPORTANT: Students must submit personally designed experimental procedures to a teacher for approval prior to performing the experiment. When designing your experiment, create a hypothesis, identify dependent and independent variables, identify controls, include calculations where useful, record appropriate data, and report important data in an organized manner. After completing your ex-periment, write a brief post-lab report in which you address your hypothesis, procedure, data, calculations, data analysis, potential sources of error, conclusion, and additional questions or “next-steps”.

During in class we did a simulation of the effect of natural selection in a population. After eliminating the individuals that died of, because of predation or disease, we calculated the frequencies of p and q. Then the number of individuals was restored to the initial population number of 50. Why was this crucial in our simulation?

Describe the fundamental characteristics of structural materials produced by animals and how these materials meet their functional requirements for tetrapod locomotion on land. Include in your answer: a. the definitions of (1) stress, (2) strain, (3) stiffness, (4) plastic, (5) elastic and (6) strength while comparing spider silk protein and synthetically produced nylon and rayon b. physical principles of terrestrial locomotion and the advantages conferred by various adaptations of legs and arrangements of tendons and muscles c. the differences in locomotory patterns of the cat, horse, giraffe, and human and how architecture contributes to the “spring in your step”

Consider a locus with two alleles - B and b. B is dominant, while b is recessive. There is no mutation. B has a selective advantage relative to b, so that the fitnesses of the three genotypes are BB = 1, Bb = 1, and bb = 1-s. In this case, s = 0.50, so that bb homozygotes have 50% fitness of heterozygotes and BB homozygotes. If the population has the following genotypic counts prior to selection of BB = 500, Bb = 250, and bb = 250, what is the expected change in the frequency of B after one generation with selection? Please give your answer to two decimal places.
