Imagine you are a tetrapod ancestor about to leave the freshwater pond you’ve always inhabited and invade land. Consider the ventilatory and osmoregulatory challenges you have to face when you switch from a water environment to a terrestrial environment. How can you acclimate to the new habitat to succeed during your own lifetime? What adaptive changes does your species need to make in order to dominate various terrestrial environments for millions of years to come?

Early gene cloning experiments involved insertion at one restriction site in the vector; for example, the insert would have and EcoRI site at each end, and he vector would be opened at an RI site prior to litigation. Under what circumstances would asymmetric cloning be desirable, with the insert having a different site at each end?

Why are the most abundant elements found in our bodies not the most abundant elements found in Earth's crust? (e.g., What characteristics of the most abundant elements in our bodies make them suitable for life?)

How do the structures of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins (structural and enzymatic), and nucleic acids relate to their functions? Include in your discussion a brief description of the structure of each type of molecule.

A) Formulate a one sentence hypothesis which states which stages of mitosis (prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, or telophase) will be most common to the least common. Note: A hypothesis should be written as a statement (claiming something to be true). Additionally, a hypothesis must be testable experimentally.

B) Describe your rationale for your hypothesis. Do you think all stages will have equal counts? Why or why not? If not, which stage of mitosis do you think will be most, least, etc. common in your data and why? What do you know about what happens at each stage of cell division, and how long (relatively) might that require?
