a) (i) What is it about a mutant phenotype that classifies the mutation as “temperature-sensitive”?
(ii) How is this type of phenotype explained by protein behaviour?
b) Would the following types of mutations most likely have: severe effects, mild effects, or no effect on protein function? Briefly explain your answers. Note that there may be more than one correct answer, but you need only to give one sensible answer and explain your reasoning.

Different measures of disease are useful to evaluate and assess public health programs and needs in different situations. For each of the following questions, state which measure would best support your goal. (1 point each) Measures of disease:
I = incidence rate
P = prevalence
R = sex ratio (counts)
- Show increase of new cases of car-train crashes at a railroad crossing without warning signal.
- Show existing cases of children with asthma due to exposure to secondhand cigarette smoke.
- Show endemic rates of leukemia in towns near industries along the Mississippi River
- Compare number of boys and girls who experience near-death from drowning in a city.

The American Airlines Flight 965 near Cali, Colombia, while approaching the airport, the pilot intended to lock the autopilot onto the beacon, called Rozo, that would lead the plane to the airport. The pilot typed "R," and the computer system displayed six beacons beginning with "R." Normally, the closest beacon is at the top of the list. The pilot selected it without checking carefully. The beacon at the top of the list was "Romeo" and was more than 100 miles away, near Bogota. The plane turned more than 90 degrees and headed for Romeo. In the dark, it crashed into a mountain, killing 159 people.
Evaluating the incident, identify the reasons for failure of the system and what actions could prevent such incident to take place?

The first step in the forecasting game plan is to project sales and other operating activities. Sales numbers are determined by both a volume component and price component. Projecting prices depends on factors specific to the firm and its industry that might affect demand and price elasticity. For the following types of firms discuss whether it would be likely that the firm would be able to raise future prices:
a. A firm in a capital-intensive industry that is expected to operate near capacity for the near future.
b. A firm in an industry that is expected to experience numerous technological improvements.
c. A firm with products which are transitioning from the growth to maturity phase of the product life cycle.
d. A firm that has established a well-known brand name and image.

Consider the following gas-phase reaction: C6H6(g) 3 C2H2(g) Using data from Appendix C of your textbook calculate the temperature, To, at which this reaction will be at equilibrium under standard conditions (Go = 0) and choose whether >Go will increase, decrease, or not change with increasing temperature from the pulldown menu.
T = ____K, and G will _______
For each of the temperatures listed below calculate G for the reaction above, and select from the pulldown menu whether the reaction under standard conditions will be spontaneous, nonspontaneous, or near equilibrium ("near equilibrium" means that T is within 5 K of To).
(a) At T = 896 K G=
(b) At T = 1792 K G=
(c) At T = 2688 K G=
