Identify which Mill's method is best exemplified. Explain why the Mill's method is exemplified. Demonstrate your understanding of the scientific concept and the logical structure by writing for each passage why the particular Mill's method is best exemplified.There may be more than one method in each passage.
1. The Sac locus was recently shown by linkage analysis and genetic rescue to encode T1R3, thus implicating a member of the T1r gene family in sweet taste detection. Indeed, functional expression studies in heterologous cells revealed that T1R3 combines with T1R2 (T1R2+3) to form a sweet taste receptor that responds to all classes of sweet tastants, including natural sugars, artificial sweeteners, d-amino acids and intensely sweet proteins.
2.Humans and mice show some prominent differences in their ability to taste certain artificial sweeteners and intensely sweet proteins — for example, mice cannot taste aspartame or monellin. Notably, introduction of the human T1R2 receptor into mice significantly changes their sweet taste preferences to a human-like response profile, proving that species differences in sweet taste sensitivity and selectivity are a direct reflection of T1R-sequence variation between species.

The phenotypic ratio of the F1 offspring produced by the cross between the tan body female fly and the wild-type male fly is 50% wild females: 50% tan body males.What chromosome did the F2 offspring receive from their mother (cross between the tan body female fly and the wild-type male fly)?
Select one:
a. Y chromosome with no allele for body color
b. X chromosome with a wild allele for body color
c. X chromosome with either a wild or a tan allele for body color
d. X chromosome with a tan allele for body color

On chocolate agar, colonies are small raised, glistening, and gray-white. The bacterial cells are gram-negative and spherical, tending to occur in pairs with adjacent sides flattened. In gram stain preparations made from smears of purulent material, the cells tend to be located intracellularly. Biochemical results are oxidase positive, catalase positive, glucose positive, maltose positive, sucrose negative, lactose negative and beta lactamase positive.

8. One way to go green in the city of New York would be to eat locally grown organic foods. Why would eating local and organic foods be Earth friendly? Please note that organic foods are not necessarily locally grown. Do some research and make a list of the local organic food suppliers in your neighborhood.
9. Typically, the money paid for organic foods is higher than for those grown by conventional intensive agriculture. However, the prices in the store currently do not reflect the environmental costs of production and potential health risks of conventional methods of farming. These economic and potential health care costs are considered “economic externalities”. If these hidden costs of conventional growing methods were added to the price of conventional foods, do you think they would still have a lower price than organic foods? Give your reasoning for your answer.

Many molecules play multiple regulatory roles in cellular processes. Give an example of a molecule that plays more than one role in regulating the reactions we've learned about this week, and explain why it acts in the same OR a different manner in each instance.
The molecule I am choosing is pyruvate but what other reactions does pyruvate regulate besides glycolysis and how? please help, I am very confused.
