1. You just has a bunch on twinkies for breakfast. Initially, you feel pretty good, but then feel low energy. After a few hours, you start to feel a little better. Describe what is happening to glucose regulation starting from just before before breakfast to a few hours after you eat. Be sure to mention what is happening in the pancreas, liver, muscle and adipose.
2. After consuming a high salt diet, why to both ANF and AVP go up together?

Stephen Jay Gould and others have argued that the evolution of a self-conscious, intelligent species (i.e., humans) was historically contingent, or it would not have occurred had any of a great many historical events been different. The philosopher Daniel Dennett and others have disagreed, arguing that convergent evolution is so common that if humans had not evolved, some other lineage would probably have given rise to a species with similar mental abilities. Based on what you have learned concerning Evolutionary Theory, which of these ideas do you think are correct – and why? If Gould’s position is right, what philosophical implications does his reasoning suggest – and why?

What are some causes of cancer?
Cancer can arise spontaneously, but can also be induced as a result of environmental factors such as sun exposure and smoking. If you were in charge of allocating resources for cancer prevention, would you emphasize research on curing cancer, or education about cancer prevention? Explain your answer.
Although tobacco smoking is responsible for a large number of human cancers, not all smokers develop cancer. Why is this?
Pick a specific tumor suppressor gene or oncogene and explain how this gene can lead to or prevent cancer. Be sure to focus on the mechanism of how your chosen gene impacts the cell cycle. You can alternatively pick a virus that has been associated with cancer and explain how that virus impacts the cell cycle and ultimately leads to cancer.

1. Although we teach natural selection using a single allele, we recognize that natural selection works upon the entire phenotype of an organism, not an individual loci.
About 85% of the human population has a muscle in the forearm called the palmaris longus.
a) What is this feature, and what benefit does it provide?
b) Respond to this common criticism of evolution, providing evidence to back your statement: “If natural selection is truly working, we should be perfectly adapted to our environment. Thus, if evolution were true, this muscle would not be present. Thus, evolution is not true and we should teach scientific creationism (intelligent design) instead.”
c) Respond to this common fallacy of evolution, providing evidence to back your statement, “If most humans have this muscle, then obviously there is a benefit for the individuals. We would not waste energy in making useless structures. Evolution would remove the useless structure from the population.”
d) Explain the advantages of NOT having this particular feature.

A PET scan reveals that an individual's cancer has spread to the cervical and axillary lymph nodes on the patient's left side only. To prevent further spread, all of the lymph nodes from the left side cervical and axillary regions are surgically removed. The patient is surprised to receive an wristband that reads "No Blood Draw or Vaccines on this Arm" that he must wear for the rest of his life. Why would having blood drawn or vaccines being given in that arm be problematic, but wouldn't be problematic if having blood drawn from the right arm?

You are given the task of creating a genetic map of three genes of Drosophila melanogaster . The genes are all located on the same chromosome. The genes are for body color, eye color and antenna formation. The alleles for body color are yellow and gray (wild-type), the alleles for eye color are sepia and red (wild-type) and the alleles for antenna are short and normal (wild-type). The mutant alleles for body and eye color are recessive, while the mutant allele for antenna formation is dominant. You follow the procedure for determining the order and map distance for the genes and obtain the following data: Short, gray, sepia = 240 Short, yellow, red = 2 Short, yellow, sepia = 500 Short, gray, red = 22 Normal, yellow, red = 270 Normal, gray, sepia = 5 Normal, yellow, sepia = 15 Normal, gray, red = 444 Hints for drawings: size matters! Don’t draw all genes equidistant. If two genes are further away from each other than another set, make sure to draw it that way. Based on the data given:
a) Define each gene and allele. Based on how you defined the alleles, what was the genotype and phenotype of the P gen? Make sure to notate alleles properly and to draw the chromosomes correctly. Make sure the genes are in the correct order.
b) What was the genotype and phenotype of the F1 gen? Make sure to notate alleles properly and to draw the chromosomes correctly. Make sure the genes are in the correct order.
c) What was the genotype and phenotype of the Test cross that was performed? Make sure to notate alleles properly and to draw the chromosomes correctly. Make sure the genes are in the correct order.
d) What are all of the map distances between the genes given? Make sure to draw the chromosomes correctly, the genes are in the proper order and units are used.
