Bacteria and other microbes can be used to "clean up" an oil spill by breaking down oil into carbon dioxide and water. Two samples isolated from the Deepwater Horizon leak in the Gulf of Mexico were labeled A and B. The DNA of each was isolated and the percent thymine measured in each sample. Sample A contains 18.7 % thymine and sample B contains 27.9 % thymine. Assume the organisms contain normal double‑stranded DNA and predict the composition of the other bases.

1. Discuss what is cell theory and why all living things have cells.

2. Discuss how cohesion and adhesion differ or compare.

3. Discuss how cells derived from pre-existing cells.

4. Discuss why does ice float on water? What would happen if ice was able to sink

Why do you think it is that quick weight loss does not lead to long term weight loss?

1. Define the Kingdom Plantae before and after the impact of Whittaker, Margulis, and Schwartz (1969-1988). How has the change in classification schemes impacted the study of biology? Which of these two views is more consistent with the view of Marine Botany? Why?

Assume that three capital letter alleles (A, B and C) control dark pigmentation because more melanin is produced. The lower-case alleles of these three genes (a, b & c) control light pigmentation because lower amounts of melanin are produced. The effect of these alleles is additive meaning a genotype with all capital alleles (AABBCC) has the maximum amount of melanin and very dark skin. A genotype with all small case alleles (aabbcc) has the lowest amount of melanin and very light skin. Each capital allele produces one unit of color, so that a wide range of intermediate skin colors are produced, depending on the number of capital alleles in the genotype.

What would be the possible skin colors (based upon total units of color) produced and their ratios by the following mating: Male - AaBbCc (3 units) X Female - aabbCc (1 unit).

Question 4

Select all that apply Which of the following are chemical property characteristics that could impact pharmacokinetics?

A. formulation

B. half life

C. patient age

D. interactions

E. disease

1. If the S phase of interphase occurred but G1 and G2 did not, would the cell still undergo cell division?A)Even though G1 and G2 phases did not occur and therefore protein synthesis did not occur in interphase, the cell would still divide. The enzymes, proteins and chemical messengers will be made in prophase to conduct the cell division process B)No, the cell would not divide since G1 and G2 did not occur and therefore the proteins, enzymes and chemical messengers needed to conduct the process of cell division would not have been synthesized. C) Yes, the cell would still divide since the S phase occurred making enough chromosomes for the new cells to be produced.

Explain what is meant by the following levels of protein structure: 1) primary structure; 2) secondary structure; 3) tertiary structure; and 4) quaternary structure. For secondary structure, name each type of secondary structure, and for each type, describe the structure and explain the roles of hydrogen bonding in that type of secondary structure. For tertiary structure, describe the role of hydrophobicity in tertiary structure; also, explain how hydrophobicity affects tertiary structure of a cytoplasmic protein and how it affects the tertiary structure of a membrane protein. For quaternary structure, give the name of a protein that has quaternary structure and describe, generally, its quaternary structure.

Choose either the mitochondria or the chloroplast to answer this question.

*Name the major reactions of cellular respiration or photosynthesis and give their location within the organelle

*which structures within this organelle is heavily folded? Why is it heavily folded (mention how this form relates to cellular respiration or photosynthesis)?

Define iPS cell and describe what these cells are/do/how they function

Describe how I might make an iPS cell that is useful for treating a skeletal muscle tear to speed up the repair process

Why do humans have different skin color? Does UVR play a significant role in this and what is the history of pigmentation in reference to our ancestors?

b) occurs before replication

c) involves enzymatic destruction of the cas...

2. satellite viruses are?

a) also called viroids

b) significants photogens of plants

c) dependent in other viruses for replication

d) the cause of spongiform encephalopathy

3. atypical viruses without a capsid are called?

a) caples viruses

b) helical viruses

c) complex viruses

d) viroids

REVERSE CASE STUDY : Home Care for the Elderly Client With Dementia

Primary Character: Scenario:

Instructions:

Home health nurse

The home health nurse is making a visit to a 72-year-old client with dementia who is being cared for at home by a 75-year-old spouse/family member. They live independently in a two-story home in a small suburban neighborhood. The home health nurse is doing an initial home health assessment.

Create a history of the problem that could lead to this scenario, including the experiences and actions of the primary character involved; a list of other persons/characters (nurses, staff, patients, etc.) involved, including their roles and previous actions that led to the scenario outcome(s); and future actions the primary character may take to address the situation, as well as evaluation criteria for determining the effectiveness of these actions. This information may be presented in a concept map or narrative form, or in any form of the student’s or group’s choosing. A concept map template has been provided below.
