1. How is the digestion similar and different between a mammal, such as a pig, and a smaller multi-cellular organism like a Hydra? You must be specific (BUT BRIEF) with your answer. I expect you to tell me the similarities and differences between the two, with specific mentioning of the types of digestion they have, particular cells, and other processes to discuss how their overall digestion takes place.

You have isolated and sequenced a region of DNA that appears to have caused tumor formation. For What types of mutations would you look to understand how that DNA causes the cancer and what is the characteristic of each type of mutation you might find?

A large study of DNA from people in the USA determined that the frequency for the recessive allele for ear shape .2 and the dominant is .8. If 10 % of the population shows the recessive phenotype is the population in HW equilibrium for this trait? Note that the population of the USA is over 200 million!

Which of the following would be most detrimental for cellular respiration? That is, which one would result in the greatest reduction in the number of ATP molecules being generated?
Select one:
a. A strong reducing agent which is only active in the inter-membrane space of mitochondria
b. A strong oxidizing agent which is only active in the mitochondrial matrix
c. A strong reducing agent which can enter the cytoplasm but not the mitochondrial matrix
d. A strong oxidizing agent which enters the cytoplasm but not the mitochondrial matrix
answer is B... why?

T- Test:
Seven tomato plants were treated with chlorogenic acid (and seven control plants were not treated) to determine if this acid influences the activity of the enzyme o-diphenol oxidase in their leaves which is normally 13 units. The enzyme activity data are presented below. Does this treatment affect enzyme activity?

The amplitude of the ventricular action potential as measured with an intracellular microelectrode is some 100 times greater than the QRS wave of the ECG, which represents the ventricular depolarization. Why is this the case? In your discussion focus on the methods used to make these measurements.
