You cringe, want to pull your hair out and strongly desire to open handedly slap your good friend Ima Nodall when you hear her explaining to her sister that; "spermatogenesis and oogenesis are exactly the same process - one just has a tail, the other doesn't.'' While you secretly bristle at the thought of this misinformation, you decide that you will lay out a point by point essay comparing the two processes. In this essay, you should really let Ima know that she does have a point, there are some similarities in the processes (1 pt per similarity, mention at least two (2 pts total)) but largely the processes are different. These differences should include differences in timing including when in a person’s lifetime the processes are active (2 pts), how many gametes are produced with each process (include viability of cells) (4 pts) and the actions of FSH and LH (include 1 function per hormone for each process) (8 points). After gametes are produced where do they mature(2pts) 2 pts for essay formatting, grammar, spelling.

Ann Elkin, who works for Brill Co., has been sent out to conduct two customer evaluations, which have gone much more quickly than Ann anticipated. Her supervisor does not expect Ann back until after lunch. It is now 10:30 A.M., and Ann would like to run some personal errands and then go to lunch before returning to work at 1:00 P.M. Should Ann take the time? Would you? Why or why not? Is this any different than if Ann was sitting at her office desk using a work computer to access her personal email, surf the internet, check social media or make personal phone calls on her work phone?

Scenario
Suppose you work for a wildlife conservation organization. You are working on creating a system to educate the general public about different animals and get them more interested in conservation.
Aim
Create a Eagle class that inherits from the Bird class and has a clutch size (eggs laid in one nesting) attribute. Change the behavior of instances of the Eagle class to include this clutch size fact when they're printed.
Steps for Completion
Go to your main.py file.
Define the Eagle class that inherits from the Bird class. Override the __init__ initializer method and add a clutch_size attribute with the value of 3.
Override the __str__ method and modify it to include mention of the clutch size.
At the bottom of the script we have initialized an instance of the Eagle class and called print on the instance, which should display facts about the eagle.
Run the script by using python3 main.py in the terminal. The output should be as shown in Snippet 7.86:
The eagle has a wingspan up to 7.5ft, has a lifespan of 20 years and can fly at a maximum speed of 99mph. It also has a clutch size up to 3.

Please using your OWN words give a response to the segment below. Can be anything like do you agree or disagree? Why or why not? Add anything to this statement.
Privacy- "the state or condition of being free from being observed or disturbed by other people"(Oxford Languages). I do believe that people have the right to their privacy. I don't believe that people should have to have their personal lives exposed for the rest of the world. When it comes to public health and privacy it is very difficult, because I feel people should have their own privacy, but if it is a threat to the community then i also feel as though the community has a right to know. We are kind of dealing with this situation now with COVID. I remember seeing on the news in the beginning of the pandemic that they were trying to make an app so you would know if you were around someone who has tested positive. I'm not sure how that would work, but due to the pandemic and the rapid spread of the virus, I feel like an app like that would be justified. It doesn't have to mention names, just that a person they were around had tested positive.
