A bag contains two red marbles, four green ones, one transparent one, two yellow ones, and three orange ones. You select three at random. Compute the probability of the given event. (Enter your probability as a fraction.)

At least one is not red.

Describe what risk maturity is in detail

Please read the summary below and answer the questions that follow in detail.

What do you think of when you hear the term “biodiversity?” Do you only picture rainforests or coral reefs? Maintaining a wide variety and number of species is important everywhere, even in your own backyard! When a forest or prairie was cut and grass planted for a lawn, the diversity of plant species was greatly reduced. That affected the ability of the area to recycle nutrients and water, provide natural resources, and especially support other living organisms in the community, including you!
The following question is addressed in this experiment: “Is there a relationship between the diversity of plant species and the diversity of arthropod species in different habitats, especially those altered by people?” Arthropods include insects, spiders, centipedes, and millipedes. We will visit several different habitats, measure the diversity of plants and arthropods, and analyze the data to answer our question.

1)   Describe in detail an experiment you would conduct to answer the question in the experiment.

2)   Do you think it is worthwhile for society to spend money and effort to conserve living things like plants and arthropods? Why or why not?
3)   Why is biodiversity important?
4)   What is “species?”

5)   In a community of living organisms, how might arthropods and plants interact with each other?

6) Describe the relationship between the terms “arthropod” and “insect.”
7)   What is an “exotic” species?
8)   What effects do exotic species have on an ecosystem?

9) Can you think of any exotic species where you live?

10)   Why were wheat and oat fields sampled instead of corn and soybeans?

11)   Why do farmers use pesticides?

12)   Do you have a hypothesis about why the relationship between plants and arthropods exists?

13) What questions still need to be answered about the relationship between plant and arthropod species?
14)   What are the ecological consequences of losing arthropod or plant biodiversity to exotic species or habitat destruction?

15)   Do you have any suggestions for balancing our need for growing crops and preserving biodiversity?

Mike was a manager for a large company that serviced equipment in the homes of a national charity. On return from holiday, his team told Mike that his boss had showed them how to fiddle the billing system so the charity would be charged for twice as much work as had actually been performed. Mike’s team thought that this was wrong. He said doing nothing was not an option, but he had no idea who to talk to or what to say and was worried about going above his boss with whom he worked well. Mike is looking for your advice, what would you advise him. - Use what you learned during classes to explain for Mike the recommended procedure. - What are the questions you need to ask Mike about?

You are a genetic counselor. As a genetic counselor, you know:

-Dry (as opposed to wet) earwax is an autosomal recessive trait.

-Red-green colorblindness is an X-linked recessive trait.

-Sickle-cell anemia is an autosomal recessive trait.

-The genes for these traits (see above) are located on different chromosomes.

You are counseling a woman and a man, as described below.

Question A. The woman is heterozygous for wet earwax. She has red-green colorblindness. What is the woman’s genotype?

Question B. What are the possible gamete genotypes that she can produce?

Question C. The man has dry earwax. He not have red-green colorblindness. What is the man’s genotype?

Question D. What are the possible gamete genotypes that he can produce?

Question E. The woman and the man are planning to have children. What is the probability that a daughter will have neither dry earwax nor red-green colorblindness? What is the probability that a son will have neither dry earwax nor red-green colorblindness? Hint: Complete a Punnett square

Perspectives such as behaviorism and social cognitive theory show us how the consequence (reinforcement or punishment) of a particular behavior affects the extent to which the behavior is likely to appear again. Attribution theory has cast a new light on this notion, maintaining that the consequences of behavior will affect each person’s learning and future behavior differently depending on how the individual interprets those consequences. Within the context of attribution theory:

a. Explain what motivation theorists mean when they talk about attributions.

b. Explain how learners’ responses to failure are likely to be different when they attribute that failure to a controllable cause or to an uncontrollable one. Give a concrete example to illustrate your explanation.

c. Describe three specific strategies you might use to foster more productive attributions in others. In each case, use attribution theory to explain why you think the strategy should be effective.
