The black color cost in hamsters is due to a dominant gene (B)..

A recessive allele (b) at this locus results in a brown coat when homozygous (b/b). However, neither coat color is expressed when the organism is homozygous for the allele (a) at a separate locus. The a/a genotype results in a white (albino) coat, regardless of the allele at the B locus. The wild-type allele (+) at the (a) locus allows normal coat coloration, whether the genotype is +/+ or +/a.

The following experiments were performed to better understand these relationships.

Experiment 1:

A female hamster with the genotype B/B; +/+ is crossed with a male hamster of genotype b/b; a/a.

Experiment 2:

Female offspring from the cross in Experiment 1 were backcrossed to the (b/b; a/a) parent. The distribution of coat coloration among the progeny was as follows; black (66), brown (34), and white (100).

2. A true-breeding strain of black hamsters is available. What is the genotype of this strain?

A. B/b; +/+

B. B/b; +/a

C. B/B; +/+

D. B/B; +/a

3. A strain of hamsters known to be homozygous (b/b; a/a) at both loci is available. What is the phenotype of these animals?

A. Black

B. Brown

C. White

D. A mixture of white and brown

4. What will be the phonotype(s) of the F1 animals resulting from the cross in Experiment 1?

A. All black

B. All brown

C. All white

D. Both black and brown

5. Experiment 2 suggests that the two genetic loci discussed in the passage are:

A. linked

B. unlinked.

C. recessive.

D. Not enough information to determine linkage.

6. Based on the results from Experiment 2, what is the genetic map distance (frequency of recombination) between the two loci discussed in the passage?

A. 17 centimorgans

B. 34 centimorgans

C. 68 centimorgans

D. Impossible to determine; they are unlinked.

StorageTek Corporation gathered the following information from its accounting records for the year ended December 31, 2016, prior to adjustment:

•     Net credit sales for the year = $1,150,000
•     Accounts Receivable (Dec 31, 2016) = $93,000
•     Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts, prior to adjustment (Dec 31, 2016) = $6,000 debit balance

entry is recorded.

Storage Tek Corporation.

December 31, 2017: Second interest payment using the effective interest method
December 31, 2017: Amortization of bond issue costs rising the straight line method

Item 1Item 1 The usefulness of budgets, variances, and related analyses often depends on the accuracy of management’s estimates of future sales activity. Required 1. Identify and enter the 2016 and 2017 sales (in dollars) into a table for Apple and Google using their financial statements in Appendix A. 2. Assume that at the end of 2016 we feel Apple’s 2017 sales will increase by 5% from its 2016 sales. What is Apple’s 2017 estimated sales? 3. Assume that at the end of 2016 we feel Google’s 2017 sales will increase by 20% from its 2016 sales. What is Google’s 2017 estimated sales? 4. Using answers to parts 2 and 3, which company’s estimated 2017 sales is closer to its actual 2017 sales?

A group is defined as two or more people that are gathered together to for a common purpose (Warrick, 2016). Groups can then be broken into either formal groups or informal groups. Formal groups are created so that the individuals work together to achieve a specific outcome (Warrick, 2016). Formal groups are usually present with members of a department or a committee that oversees an operation (Warrick, 2016). While informal groups are individual’s that come together because of common interests (Warrick, 2016). Typically, people with shared sentiments like sports teams or people grouped together by location fall under informal groups (Warrick, 2016).

Teams on the other hand are two or more people that have interdependent role, complementary skills and a common purpose (Warrick, 2016). Teams usually have shared leadership responsibilities among members, evaluate success based on the team’s outcomes instead of the individual’s outcomes, and overall have a collective problem-solving style (Warrick, 2016). The interesting part is that all teams can be considered groups, but not all groups can be considered teams (Warrick, 2016). This is why managers and leaders would use different strategies to influence performance between groups and teams. Specially with teams, a leader will need to take steps to understand the type of team that they are leading. Whether the team is a self-managed team, a problem-solving team, a cross functional team or a virtual team (Warrick, 2016). All have different needs and will respond to different leadership styles. The leader will then want to assess the background factors such as the team’s goals, culture, team member characteristics and overall purpose (Warrick, 2016). Where as with a group, a manager most likely will have a more relaxed leadership style. Because groups are less formal and encompass a wide range of actives, leaders will most likely be less formal and cover a wide range of styles.

Bulb A is labeled with power P and voltage V, bulb B is labeled with power P/2 and voltage V. These two bulbs are connected in series and then to some source of voltage, which is unknown. Which one produces greater illumination?

At T=Tc, (∂P/∂V)V T=Tc = 0 and (∂2P/∂V2)T=TC = 0. Use this information to derive expressions for a and b in the van der Waals equation of state in terms of experimentally determined Pc and Tc.
