Are the protists a monophyletic group? please discuss this and describe this by drawing a “tree” that would include the diatoms, dinoflagellates, red algae, brown algae, green algae and charophytes. what are the main characteristics of these different groups, i.e., which of these groups have silica in its cell walls? Which has both chlorophyll a and b,which of these is considered in the plantae group but NOT a green plant, etc.?

1. Describe a BEACH that you would find on a passive margin coastline.

2. Describe a BEACH that you would find on an active margin coastline.

Discuss how sexual selection pressures differ between males and females. What effect does this have on adaptations and other features observed between different sexes in plants and/or animals? Give several examples of how a sexual character can aid an animal in securing a mate thereby enhancing fitness. What factor(s) potentially place a restraint on this type of directional selection?

What is cystic fibrosis? Describe the major genetic cause and the mechanism that leads to the
symptoms of the disease.

The maximum yield of ATP per molecule of glucose in eukaryotic cells is 36 or 38 ATP, depending on cell type and conditions. Why is the calculated ATP yield referred to as "Maximal Theoretical Yield" in eukaryotic and in prokaryotic cells?

1. How would it affect organisms living in cold climates if oil or alcohol were their main body fluid?
2. How do you think the cohesive nature of water relates to its evaporation?
3. Describe in detail an experiment you could conduct to test whether another substance could replace water.

Describe how you would identify genes responsible for transcription in E. coli by isolating mutations in their genes. Remember that these genes are required for cell viability. Include all the steps in the isolation of the mutants and also describe how you will differentiate the mutants you want from those in other genes necessary for viability. This includes giving me the expected result for mutants in the genes you want.

The average sperm count in males is now lower than it was several decades ago. The reasons for lower sperm counts observed in males today is not known. Propose a hypothesis as to why, global, sperm counts are lower today than then were fifty years ago. What experiment could you do to test your hypothesis?
