Calculate the income elasticity of demand from (vi) above and interpret your results. B. In an article about the financial problems of Daily Graphic, an economists at Valley View University indicated that the company was losing about GH¢20 million a year. The economist suggest that, the paper should raise its price from GH¢2.5 to GH¢3.5 which he estimated would bring in an additional GH¢65 million a year. The paper’s publisher rejected the idea, saying that the circulation could drop sharply after a price increase, citing The Ghanaian Times experience after it increase its price to GH¢3. What implicit assumption are the publisher and the economist making about demand elasticity? 200 QD = P 30 5 = −QS + P QD = 600 − 4PA − 0.03M − 12PB + 15T + 6PE + 1.5N

Question:

An outbreak of betacoronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2 began in Wuhan, China in December 2019. COVID-19, the disease associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, rapidly spread to produce a global pandemic. Since then many scientists around world try to understand the mechanism of the virus. One of the very important questions that the scientists are asking is that why there is a difference with respect to severity of the disease between infected individuals. We know some factors such as people with advanced age or underlying health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes are more likely to develop severe symptoms. But those do not explain the whole story, because there are plenty of young and healthy individuals with severe symptoms or old individuals with underlying health conditions with mild symptoms. Why might that be? Could genetics play a role? Because we know from past experiences that genetics is associated with susceptibility to infectious diseases such as particular HBB variants make people less susceptible to malaria, or particular CCR5 variants can protect people from HIV infection, or particular FUT2 variants prevent people to be infected by norovirus.

So, a) Please discuss the molecular mechanisms of the novel coronavirus and decide which human genes are possible candidates of most likely to influence severity of the disease.

b) Please discuss if the geographical location could affect the severity of the disease in terms of genetic variation and evolutionary migration patterns of humans.

Specific Instructions:  Provide at least 3 references in an appropriate format.  Use only scholarly research papers for referencing (magazines, blogs, and websites are not allowed).  Plagiarism or quotations are not allowed.  Word count scale: Minimum 200 words.

Please anyone?

Multiple choice: All of the following statements about evolution are true except:

A) It is a change in the frequency of particular alleles within a population over time.

B) Every mutation occurring in an organism’s DNA leads to genetic changes that are beneficial and adaptive.

C) When an animal selects a mate based on particular features or behaviors, the offspring that result will be better adapted than would those arising from a purely random mate choice.

D) Darwin’s theory of evolution easily accounts for simple refinements in form (i.e., adaptations); however, novel or dramatic changes in form require an understanding of modern discoveries taken from cell and molecular biology.

Multiple choice: The phrase “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny”:

A) Explains why developmentally, human hearts don’t form directly having 4-chambers, rather they undergo a sequential formation that begins with 2, then 3, then 4 chambers.

B) Is used to explain why all chordates, including humans have gills at some time during their embryonic development.

C) Supports the idea that physical features you acquire during your lifetime can be passed on to your offspring.

D) Has been entirely rejected by the scientific community as an obsolete idea.

E) a and b

Choose the FALSE statement:

A) Relative to the fossil record or comparative morphology, the closeness of the evolutionary relationship between humans and chimpanzees is most clearly demonstrated by comparing their DNA sequences.

B) The idea that “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” provides a basis for studying an organism’s evolutionary history by examining the details of its embryonic development.

C) Fossilization is such a common occurrence in nature that we should expect to find a complete record of the entire history of life going back at least 3.5 billion years.

You are the brewmaster at a local craft brewery. In an effort to cut costs, you have been tasked to develop a procedure to recover the carbon dioxide generated during the fermentation process. This recovered carbon dioxide will be used to later carbonate the beer before it is bottled. During fermentation, sucrose (C12H22O11) dissolved in water is broken down into ethanol (CH3CH2OH) and carbon dioxide by yeast. The carbon dioxide is then released into the space above the reaction where it is then captured using your novel device. To test your recovery method, you sprinkle 22 g of dry yeast into a rigid glass container that contains 10 gallons of water (1 gallon=3.78 liters). Then you add 4.5 kg of sucrose to simulate the wort (the sugary liquid that will be fermented into beer). The volume of the rigid glass container is 10.5 gallons and the fermentation temperature is controlled using a water bath set to 25°C.

a) Write a balanced equation for the fermentation process, including phases of each compound.

b) Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide that is released by the fermentation of 4.5 kg of sucrose. You can assume that the carbon dioxide is collected and kept at a constant pressure of 1 atm in a storage tank.

c) To properly carbonate your 10 gallon batch of beer, you need approximately 100 L of carbon dioxide at 1 atm. How many batches of beer can you carbonate with the amount of carbon dioxide generated by your experiment?

d) How much ethanol is produced during the fermentation of 4.5 kg sucrose. Express your answer in gallons.

e) Calculate the amount of heat generated by the fermentation of 4.5 kg sucrose. Express your answer in kJ.
