Use human genetics knowledge to answer the following questions (Please print):
1.(10) Is bipedalism a uniquely human trait? What makes us morphologically human and different? Expound on the uniqueness of humans compared to some of our closest relatives. Think behavior, neurological, social etc?
2.(10) Simple Mendelian disease was difficult to determine genetically. Using Tay Sachs disease, or another Mendelian disease that was not covered in class, tell me how it was discovered, when, what mode of inheritance it has, what gene causes it, how the gene was determined (if it is possible).

13. Assume that karyotyping cells from a human tumor reveals that they are tetraploid. How many total chromosomes would be present in these cells?
14. Assume that, instead, karyotyping cells from a human tumor reveals that they each have 47 chromosomes. How would these cells be classified based on the terminology for variant chromosome numbers?
15. A reciprocal translocation occurs between chromosomes 13 and 15 in a human oogonium. Assuming that adjacent segregation occurs during oogenesis, what is the expected probability that the resulting ovum would be capable of producing viable offspring following fertilization?

Consider the Romer Model (1990). Suppose the productivity parameter in the R&D sector is 0.0002 and the stock of human capital in the economy is 2000, of which 1500 is allocated to the manufacturing of the final goods. In the final goods production sector, output elasticity with respect to labor is 0.3 and output elasticity with respect to human capital is 0.4. Answer the following questions:
a. Find the equilibrium growth rate.
b. Find the equilibrium interest rate.
c. If the current level of technology is 100 and the price of a new design for intermediate good is 1000, find the wage of human capital.

By now you have realized that abortion is not a simple black-or-white issue. However, those in favor of abortion ("pro-choice") argue that the question of the morality of abortion rests on the question of whether a fetus is a person.
On the other hand, "pro-life" argue that abortion destroy a human life, and thus it is an immoral act.
First, explain the difference between a person and a human being. Why is this difference relevant in the discussion of abortion? Do you regard the human/person distinction relevant in the discussion or do you think there are more important factors to consider. Which ones?

What is the most surprising or interesting thing you know about (HIMS) health information systems? Predict what the focus of health information systems will be ten years from now. Justify your post with examples. Additionally, consider an example of a human technology interface in health care, from clinical technology to administrative or electronic data. Propose one way the future of health care will improve with human interface technology. Next, provide one example of how human interface technology could hinder future health care delivery. Justify your response.

How would you make E.coli bacteria cells produce human insulin for you? More than one answer can be correct
|
transform E. coli cells with a gene in which some parts would be from the human insulin gene and other parts from an E. coli gene. |
||
|
you would replace the protein-coding part of a bacterial gene with the exons of the human insulin gene. |
||
|
all the DNA sequences controlling gene expression (promoter, Shine-Dalgarno sequence, transcription terminator) should come from an E. coli gene. |

Scenario: In Riverland, life expectancy is rising and has just surpassed life expectancy in its neighbor country, Lakeland.
Refer to the scenario above. This implies that ________.
A) Riverland's per capita GDP has surpassed Lakeland's
B) Riverland's Human Development Index has surpassed Lakeland's
C) Riverland's Human Development Index likely will be greater than Lakeland's if its per capita GDP is greater
and schooling is of similar length and quality
D) Riverland's per capita GDP likely will be greater than Lakeland's if the Human Development Index is
greater

5. Tischkoff et al. (1996) chose to genotype the modern human CD4 gene, specifically in terms of the length of a short tandem repeat sequence (STR) in an intron, along with a closely-linked Alu element that was partially deleted in some individuals. Define these terms and explain how their genotyping was performed. Why was the rate of mutation in these particular genetic markers expected to be appropriate for studying recent events in human evolution? Why was natural selection expected to have a minimal impact on these genetic markers? Why (how) did the results support the “out of Africa” model, both in terms of the genetic diversity of various modern human populations, and also in terms of the inferred ages of those populations?
