Learning Task 18-02: Genetic Disorders

1. Research and write a brief description of each genetic disorder. 1- Huntington Disease 2- Tay-Sachs Disease 3-Marfan Syndrome 4- Cystic Fibrosis 5-Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
2. For each disease, state the chances that a child would be born with the disease:
   • if one parent carries the gene; and
   • if both parents carry the gene.

3. Explain how you arrived at your answers. Use Punnett squares to help justify your response for each disease.

Which statement(s) about state functions is(are) correct?

(i) State functions are the opposite of path-dependent functions.

(ii) State functions have no “memory” about how they arrived at a given value.

(iii) State functions are path-dependent functions.

(iv) Heat and work are not state functions and neither is their sum a state function.

Listed below are the weights (in grams) of a sample of M&M's Plain candies, classified according to color.

1. Identify the null hypothesis and the alternate hypothesis.

Null hypothesis:

a) H₀: μ₁ ≠ μ₂ ≠ μ₃ ≠ μ₄ ≠ μ₅ ≠ μ₆

b) H₀: μ₁ = μ₂ = μ₃ = μ₄ = μ₅ = μ

2. Alternate hypothesis:

• The treatment means are equal.

• Not all treatment means are equal.

3. State the decision rule for 0.05 significance level. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

4. Complete the ANOVA table. (Round your SS, MS to 3 decimal places, and F to 3 decimal places.)

5. Use a statistical software system to determine whether there is a difference in the mean weights of candies of different colors. Use the 0.05 significance level.

Research the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) public policy response to the 2008 economic crisis.

Write a 800-word paper in which you include the following:

• Describe the purpose of the public policy.
• Identify the key policymakers for the policy.
• Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the policy.
• Explain if the policy was effective. Provide examples to support your assertion.
• Detail how special interest groups and the media may have influenced your chosen policy.

Include at least three references to support your findings.

A family member knows that you are taking classes for your Healthcare Management Degree. They just returned from a physician checkup and they were confused by the terminology the medical professional was using at the office. They mentioned several activities related to primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. You are going to explain each of these types of prevention, remembering that your family member does not have medical terminology experience, in detail. You are also for each one of the preventions list an example that “your” family member can relate too.

What are the two recommended potential strategies for biotechnology firms (such as Intarcia, Alexion) that would increase their performance.

The chosen strategy should address the key strategic issues you determined above; and it should reflect your external analysis (threats and opportunities you concluded in that section) AND internal analysis (major strengths and weaknesses for the firm you identified in that section).

these questions are associated with the PCB

1. During in the designing process, what types of layout level do you need to consider? write out the layout level name ,and explain these levels in detail. (you can draw diagram to explain those levels)

2.what is the general procedure to design a PCB? explain in each step

3. For the micro-electronic schematic,  draw 5 simple circuits diagrams (it can be current mirror, current follower etc) that can be used in any types of PCB design.
