Provide 3 brief examples of how comparative genomics (and increased knowledge of genomic diversity) contributes to a greater understanding of the human genome and human biology. For each example, also identify which types of species (how closely related to humans, in a very rough sense) are most important for each comparison discussed. Each example, in total, should be no more than two-three sentences.

The human body has a blood volume of about 5 liters (p = 1060 kg / m3). The total volume of blood with a cell density of 1225 kg / m3 turned out to contain 1% white blood cells and 44% red blood cells. Red blood cells 7.5 x 106 m in diameter. Determine the total number of blood cells in human blood

Discuss mental models (user task environment, human-computer interaction, environmental issues) that may be influencing the human component of the e-prescription process in hospitals or clinics. And what is the reason for poor adoption of health information technology tools such as poor usability, variability in goals, identified care gap, lack of information at the right time, lack of care coordination, creation of workarounds in e-prescribing process?

A pharmacist is researching PUBMED about gabapentin
for treatment of spasticity in a 36-year-
old woman newly diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. If using the
terms “gabapentin” AND
“spasticity,” which one of the following limit
functions would best help narrow results and limit
erroneous results? Explain your Answer
a. Human only.
b. English only.
c. Human and English.
d. Clinical trials.

1. What is the importance or advantage of studying "Drug Repurposing" for a better understanding of the human disease drug discovery process?
2. Provide two examples of human diseases where researchers used this concept or research strategy. What is the cellular mechanism of disease, or signaling pathway targeted by these researchers? Please cite two sources using PubMed!
3. What are the potential disadvantages or challenges of drug repurposing?

1. Use the neoclassical theory of distribution to predict the impact on the real wage and the real rental
price of capital of each of the following events:
a. A wave of immigration increases the labor force.
b. An earthquake destroys some of the capital stock.
c. A technological advance improves the production function.
d. High inflation doubles the prices of all factors and outputs in the economy.
2. If a 10 percent increase in both capital and labor causes output to increase by less than 10 percent, the production function is said to exhibit decreasing returns to scale. If it causes output to increase by more than 10 percent, the production function is said to exhibit increasing returns to scale.
Why might a production function exhibit decreasing or increasing returns to scale?
(This problem requires the use of calculus.)
Consider a Cobb–Douglas production function with three inputs. K is capital (the number of machines), L is labor (the number of workers), and H is human capital (the number of college degrees among the workers).
The production function is
Y =5 K 1/3 L1/3 H 1/3.
a. Derive an expression for the marginal product of labor. How does an increase in the amount of human capital affect the marginal product of labor?
b. Derive an expression for the marginal product of human capital. How does an increase in the amount of humancapital affect the marginal product of human capital?
c. What is the income share paid to labor?
What is the income share paid to human capital?
In the national income accounts of this economy, what share of total income do you think workers would appear to receive?
(Hint: Consider where the return to human capital shows up.)
d. An unskilled worker earns the marginal product of labor, whereas a skilled worker earns the marginal product of labor plus the marginal product of human capital.
Using your answers to parts (a) and (b), find the ratio of the skilled wage to the unskilled wage. How does an increase in
the amount of human capital affect this ratio? Explain.
3. Suppose that an increase in consumer confidence raises consumers’ expectations about their future income and thus increases the amount they want to consume today. This might be interpreted as an upward shift in the consumption
function. How does this shift affect investment and the interest rate?
4. Suppose that the government increases taxes and government purchases by equal amounts. What
happens to the interest rate and investment in response to this balanced-budget change?
Explain how your answer depends on the marginal propensity to consume.
5.Suppose that consumption depends on the interest rate. How, if at all, does this alter the conclusions reached in the chapter about the impact of an increase in government purchases on investment, consumption, national saving, and the
interest rate?
