Week Two Written Assignment Guidance

Hypothesis

A question/hypothesis can be tricky…and confusing! Before you can write a question and then the hypothesis, you must first ask yourself -What area of child development really intrigues me? Read the front inside cover of your book; discover which area of child development piques your interest and then formulate your hypothesis.  As a researcher you need to ask the question before a hypothesis can be formulated.

Later, in the semester, you will narrow down your topic and then focus on all information that pertains to this subject. The completion of this paper will be your Final.

A hypothesis is defined as "a prediction stated in a way that permits it to be tested" (Feldman, 2012, p.34). A hypothesis expresses the potential relationship between the variables in the research.

Example: A research question could be: "Can genetic testing ensure that all prenatal inherited and genetic disorders can be detected before the fetus is nine weeks?

And the hypothesis could be: "When genetic testing is done, all prenatal inherited and genetic disorders can be detected before the fetus is nine weeks" or "When genetic testing is done, all prenatal inherited and genetic disorders cannot be detected before the fetus is nine weeks." Your end goal (Final Paper) is to support your hypothesis with your research. Or you may find that your research does not support your hypothesis and that will be your conclusion.

Week Two Written Assignment-Writing a Hypothesis. This week you will need to decide on a hypothesis related to an area in Child Development that is of interest to you. Explain in 1/2 to a one-page paper what your hypothesis is and why you chose this specific area of Child Development to research.

Please cite any/all work that is not your own, including paraphrasing, in APA format. See this week’s Guidance for specifics.

the employee in this case who originally cleaned the culture spill reported having diarrhea for one day but taking no time off from work. What is the importance of this facr?

Suppose that genotypes A1A1, A1A2, and A2A2 have fitnesses 1, 0.5, and 1.5. The population is infinite and mates at random. What is the frequency of allele A1 at the two stable equilibria?

An important research technique which can used to determine mRNA localization in an embryo is___?

Explain the technology of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and how it applies to forensic
DNA typing

Question 3 You are doing genetic studies on a family that has several members with a particular disease. You identify a gene with a one base pair difference (C→T) between the patients (T) and a healthy relative (C). This gene encodes a protein that acts as an enzyme in cellular metabolism.

(A) Describe two ways in which a C→T mutation in the DNA could cause a loss-of-function disruption in a protein.

(B) Describe how it is possible that a loss-of-function mutation can be dominant to wild-type

(C) Describe three potential consequences of a loss-of-function mutation in the protein described in (A). (Answer could be at a cellular or organismal level.)

(D) Describe two ways in which a C→T mutation in the DNA could cause a gain-of-functiondisruption in a protein.

Which of these DNA sequences is palindromic when double-stranded?

A) 5-ATGGTA-3

B) 5-GGGCCC-3

C) 5-ATCCAT-3

D) 5-ATGATG-3

hello I would like to know the concept of micro and macro domains and the correlation to loop formation in bacterial chromsomes, specfics such as base pairs ectera as well. And also why not all bacterial species contain micro and macro domain

What traits are most likely influenced by genes and what traits are most likely influenced by the environment? Explain your reasoning.

200 Words at least

A homozygous polled Hereford bull (with dominant hornless gene (PP) , dominant white-face spotting pattern (WW) and recessive brown coat color (bb) is crossed to an Angus female with horns (recessive, pp), no spots (recessive, ww) and a dominant solid black coat color (dominant, BB). All the F1 animals are polled (hornless), have a solid black coat and a white-face spotting pattern. These three loci are autosomal and independent from each other. The F1 animals are crossed to F1 animals to produce an F2. How often are horned, white-face and black animals expected in the F2?

Animal science problem, be sure to know the answer before u answer it thanks

How are feed intake, ruminal rate of passage, ruminal pH regulation and body weight gain related to each other?

You are a prominent cancer scientist leading a government laboratory, you just received bottle of colon cancer biopsy along with some normal colon tissue collected from a patient.

(A) Describe and give examples of the traditional ways and modern omics methods you would use in classifying this colon tumor tissue.

(B) After a week, additional clinical testing results of the patient came back, the colonoscopy failed to find any polyps, and your latest lab test result also indicated the MLH1 gene expression was lost in the tumor sample.
1.   Based on these data, which genetic disease would you suggest the patient is suffering from? (1 mark)
2.   Name and describe the cellular process by which of MLH1 is involved; and outcome of losing MLH1 gene expression .
3.   Name and describe the molecular basis of the process by which often involved in driving diminished expression of MLH1 . Describe also molecular mechanism a normal cell would use to counter act the “process” .

(C) Describe in details the advanced laboratory techniques by which you could use to study the “process” occurred to the MLH1 locus.

Using your data and the fact that plants are roughly 44.5% carbon, calculate how many days it would take for all of the carbon in your leaves to be respired if microbes continue to metabolize at the rate you measured. Now, think back to a just-fallen leaf outside. Considering how many days you estimate it would take your leaves to disappear, do you think there are enough days that are moist and warm enough to allow complete metabolism of leaves between fall and spring, say between November 1 and May 15? Explain.
