1. Threat to biodiversity in MUTUALISM, COMMENSALISM AND PARASITISM
   1. Describe the threat. What is it? Where is it? What is causing it? Etc. (at least a long paragraph description here).
   2. What potential or actual harm can result from this threat?
   3. Give at least two statistics related to this threat.

How does entropy drive solubility of proteins in water (or not)? Draw me a “system” of a beaker of water with and without 1) Polar solute and 2) Nonpolar solute. How does entropy change in each of the beakers before and after addition of solute?

A 34-year-old pregnant female discovered that her husband tested positive for HIV. She was never screened for HIV infection earlier. She shares this information to her physician during delivery. Immediate screening of the infant with molecular methods such as qPCR yielded positive results.

a. Explain the algorithm for laboratory diagnosis for screening and determination of true positive for the newborns?

b. If the results are true positives, how should the infant be monitored?

c. If the initial screening at birth yielded negative results for the infant, should the testing be concluded? Explain your reasoning.

Distinguish between photoreduction and photophosphorylation.

You were given the DNA sequence for the alleles of a total of six genes. The genes are separated by vertical lines (|). What are the mRNA codon sequences that are complimentary to the DNA sequences that you were provided?

(Please write each codon sequence as a separate line in your answer, for example:

UAGAGCGUCGAUCG

UAGCGAUCGUAGCU

AUCGACGAUCGAUC

ACGCUAGCUAGCGU

AACGCUAGGCUAUU

AUCGCGCGGUAGCG)

(Note, the above mRNA sequences are likely different from the ones which are complimentary to the DNA sequence you received.)

Exposure to toxic materials can be hazardous to humans. What variables affect the amount of toxic material an organism will be exposed to? What effect do these variables have?

Researchers conducted a cohort study of the association between air pollution and asthma. The

rate ratio was 8.0, when comparing those exposed to high levels of air pollution with those

exposed to low levels of air pollution. Which of the following issues should the researchers

consider when making their study conclusions and when thinking about causality? Choose all

that apply and explain your choice.

a) The rate ratio of 8.0 indicates a strong association, which lends support for causality

b) Strong confounding may actually be causing the strong association seen

c) Other studies of the same exposure—health outcome association reported rate ratios in the

range of 1.5-3.0, less than the rate ratio of 8.0 seen in this study

d) The temporal sequence of the exposure and outcome should be known in order to draw

accurate conclusion.
