You isolate a new pathogenic bacteria, from the sputum of a human patient, which you hypothesize was the cause of a severe respiratory infection. How could you use Koch’s postulates to prove your hypothesis? Which postulate would not be satisfied if the organism was a human-only pathogen?

1. Based on the human variation, why do most people misunderstand the concept of "race"? Instead of using the concept of race to describe human variation, what would be a better explanation for human diversity?

2. What can we learn about the falsehoods of race as a biological concept? How this should be taught in schools?

Imagine a space alien, Flapper, lands on the planet, and asks about the history of life on earth. You are tasked with providing Flapper evidence of evolution, using examples from biology, and are given unlimited resources to show and tell whatever you would like that helps you explain.What are 2 different types of evidence supporting the evolutionary concept of descent with modification that you would use? Please describe how you would explain them to Flapper, using specific examples.

Compose a short (1.5 – 2.5 page) essay explaining one common alteration in vision and one common alteration in hearing. You should briefly describe the pathophysiologic changes, prevalence, manifestations, and treatment for each. You should also explain the mechanism that the specific treatment uses to return a normal functioning state. You may select a disease process from the book, but will need to use additional resources to provide all the information required for the essay.

A diploid strain that is monosomic for chromosome IV?

A homozygous deletion strain that includes the entire RPS24 locus?  

A haploid strain in which the RPS24 gene contains a small deletion?
