How would an organism be able to survive these conditions on another planet? Please explain.
Thermodynamics - the temperature is around 233.15 K (-40 F)
Acquiring energy - receives about 70% of the sunlight that Earth receives from the Sun
Gravity - increase of gravity of 30% compared to Earth. However,more gravity means greenhouse effects increase the overall heat of the planet.
Circular orbit - seasonal changes in climate would be minimal.

Curly wing (CY) shape and stubble bristles (SB) are both recessive lethal alleles (i.e. dominant in terms of wing shape/bristles phenotype, but recessive for lethality). What would be the result (F1 phenotypic ratios) of a cross between two curly winged, stubble bristle flies? To develop a hypothesis to predict the phenotypic ratio for the F1 generation consider the following:
What are the genotypes of the parents? _________________
What phenotypic ratio would you predict for the offspring of a cross between two flies with curly wing shape? __________________
and two flies with stubble bristle?__________________
Use a branch diagram to predict the outcome of dihybrid cross between two curly winged, stubble bristle flies.

Female with stubble bristles crossed to a a male with stubble bristles
Info:
SB-Stubble Bristles
+ Wild Type
Female 422 SB
Male 406 SB
Female 192 +
Male 187 +
1. Draw the cross and the F1 generation
2. Predict the F1 geneotypes and phenotypic ratios
3. Use goodness of fit/apriori chi squared (X2) analysis to confirm the most likely F1 phenotypic ratio.
4. How is Stubble Bristles inherited ?

A.) What distinguishes craniates from all other chordates? What distinguishes vertebrates from all other craniates?
B.) Describe the invertebrate clade of chordates, Cephalochordata. Make sure to mention the defining trait. How do they obtain their nutrients? How do they reproduce?
C.) Describe the invertebrate clade of chordates, Urochordata. Make sure to mention the defining trait. How do they obtain their nutrients? How do they reproduce?
D.) Describe the difference between agnathans and gnathostomes. Give an example of each.

What is the definition of Intelligence? How can we measure Knowledge when the term Intelligence has never been defined adequately?
Do you think we can measure knowledge based on the use of mental tests? In your opinion do you think that critical and logical thinking should be part of these tests and how has the current research in testing changed over the last ten years?

DAB Standard 6 contains requirements for the physical set-up of the laboratory facility.
Access to the laboratory is controlled and limited
Evidence examination, DNA extraction, and PCR set-up are conducted in separate places or at separate times.
Amplified DNA is confined to rooms separate from those used for other steps.
Robotic workstations used to carry out DNA extraction, quantification, PCR setup, and/or amplification in a single room must be in a separate room from initial evidence examinations.
Written procedures for cleaning and decontaminating facilities and equipment
Explain why each component of DAB Standard 6 is important. A sentence or two addressing each of the five standards under 6.1 is sufficient.

Cells are the basic units of life. They undergo a natural life and death cycle called mitosis and apoptosis. Under normal circumstances, normal cells grow, divide and rest. But cancerous cells do not rest after they grow and divide - they continuously replicate. However, proliferation of cells do NOT always result in cancer, but instead form benign tumors. In your own words, explain the difference between benign and malignant cells. Include the word "metastasis" in your explanation.
