MANY FISH SPECIES ARE PROTOGYNOUS MEANING THEY START LIFE AS FEMALES AND SWITCH TO BEING MALES LATER IN LIFE. THERE ARE MANY COLORFUL SPECIES OF PARROT FISHES AND WRASSES WITH THIS LIFE HISTORY PATTERN. WHEN PROTOGYNOUS FISH CHANGE SEXES, WHAT DO WE CALL THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR? ALSO, EXPLAIN HOW PROTOGENY MAY HAVE EVOLVED THROUGH NATURAL SELECTION FROM AN ANCESTOR WHERE THE FISH REMAIN ONE SEX THEIR ENTIRE LIVES.

1- Fertilization is fundamental to sexual life cycles and is often seen as the start of development.
Of the roughly quarter-billion sperm released in a typical primate ejaculate, only a few hundred have any significant chance of actually fertilizing an egg. It is also the case that all eggs are unlikely to be fertilized. In sea urchins, not all sperm will end up fertilizing an egg and not all eggs will be fertilized. Explain why this is the case in both systems by discussing what steps are required for gamete maturation and egg activation.

I. Explain how one signal can promote different responses in different cells. For example, epinephrine causes the heart to beat faster while causing the liver to release glucose.
II. Describe how epinephrine causes liver cells to hydrolyze glycogen including how the signal is received, the molecules involved in transduction, and the cellular response.

Suppose that gene therapy could be used to lower levels of cholesterol and saturated fat in the blood, thus allowing people to consume fat-rich fried foods with little risk of heart disease. However, this treatment might not work for everyone, and there would be no way of knowing in advance who would benefit. As a result, some people would inevitably die prematurely from heart disease. Should such gene therapy be approved for use in humans? Answer this question by briefly describing how a bioethicist who believes in a utilitarian approach might view this scenario, and contrast this perspective with a deontological viewpoint.
