14. Contemporary organisms on planet earth encode their design information using nucleic acids polymers that have four different monomers. These monomers are read three at a time to produce tool polymers – made up of a different kind of monomer. [This is a straightforward case of combinatorial coding of information.] This means that the number of different monomers in the tool polymer could, in principle, be 64. In practice, this number is actually 20 – because different nucleic acid monomer triplets (called “codons”) are read as NOT different. [Such codons that are not distinguished from one another are said to be “degenerate”.] If nucleic acids had three different monomers instead of four, triplet codons could encode 27 different tool monomer units, in principle. This would be plenty of coding capacity for the 20 different tool monomers that are actually used. In view of this, which of the following is the most likely explanation for the fact that contemporary organisms use four NOT three nucleic acid monomers?

1. It is an historical accident, of no mechanistic importance.
2. There were originally more than 27 tool monomers, but some have been lost in the evolution of contemporary organisms.
3. Double stranded nucleic acids (like the DNA double helix) wouldn’t be stable with only three different bases.
4. The requirement that nucleic acids replicate themselves means that they must have an even number of monomers (2, 4, 6, etc).

15. When an organism has two copies of each piece of design information, we refer to this state by which of the following terms? (Choose the most specific term.)

1. haploid
2. diploid
3. asexual
4. somatic

16. When an adult sexual organism (“parent” here) makes a gamete (egg or sperm) she/he places one copy of each chromosome into the gamete. This chromosome is chosen at random from the two copies this parent has – one received, in turn, from its father and one from its mother (the “grandparents” here). This process of choosing one of these two chromosomes is referred to specifically by which of the following technical terms?

1. crossing over
2. recombination
3. independent assortment
4. random mating

1. Suppose there are three buyers of candy in a market: Tex, Dex and Rex. The market demand and the individual demands are shown below: Price per candy Individual quantities demanded Market demand Tex Dex Rex $8 3 1 0 4 $7 8 2 2 12 $6 12 3 4 19 $5 17 4 6 27 $4 23 5 8 36 (1) Based on the individual demand information and market demand information offered, FILL the missing values in the table (2*5=10 points). (2) Among the three buyers in the market, which buyer demands the least at a price of $5? (10 points).Please make sure your answer is in complete sentence(s). Among three individual buyers, the individual who demands the lest amount at a price of $5, would be Dex. (3) At market price of $4, Tex decided to decrease his purchase on candy from 23 significantly to 5, can you list at least three possible reasons explaining his decreased quantity demanded for candy?(3*10=30 points). Please make sure your answer is in complete sentence(s). (4) Suppose at the price of $5, the total quantity demanded decreased from 27 to 23, is this a “change in the quantity demanded” or “change in demand”? Offer your answer with brief explanation. Please make sure your answer is in complete sentence(s). (10 points for correct answer and 10 points for correct explanation=20 points). (5) Assume at market price of $8, the market supply for candy stays the same, now both Dex and Rex decided to increase their purchase on candy, how does this change affect market demand(10 points), which direction market demand curve will shift to(10 points)? And how does this change affect equilibrium price as well as equilibrium quantity for candy market?(10 points). Please make sure your answer is in complete sentence(s).

People in West African countries, among the poorest in the world, survive on $ 1 a day and have a life expectancy of 46 years. But in 2004, Equatorial Guinea had a GDP ( Gross Domestic Product) of $ 4,472 per person, the highest in West Africa. In 1995, Equatorial Guinea found oil off its coast, and by 2004 ExxonMobil, Amerada Hess, and Marathon Oil all U. S. oil companies were helping that West African country produce $ 4 billion of oil revenues a year. Equatorial Guineas inexperienced government agreed to give 80 percent of these revenues to the oil companies that drilled the oil for them, although oil companies in developing nations usually take about 50 percent of revenues from oil projects. The oil companies channel through Riggs Bank, a 2004 Senate report revealed hundreds of millions of dollars to Equatorial Guineas president, T. Nguema, and his family for land purchases, security services, and office leases. A Department of Energy report says that because Nguema and his family run the government, the 20 percent of oil revenues that go to the government are spent on lavish personal expenditures, and so most oil money is concentrated in the hands of top government officials while the majority of the population remains poor. If Nguema had not been paid, of course, the Equatorial Guinea government would never have approved the oil project. ExxonMobil says it has spent $ 4 million and Marathon Oil and Amerado Hess claim to have invested millions of dollars on schools, libraries, programs for malaria, polio, and AIDS, health clinics, bridges, waterways, and electricity. A U. S. human rights report says Equatorial Guineas government violates citizens rights of free speech, of the press, of assembly, of due process, of association, of religion, and of movement and uses torture, beatings, and other physical abuse against political opponents.

1. A direct-mail retailer experimented with three different ways of incorporating order forms into its catalog. In type 1 catalogs, the form was at the end of the catalog; in type 2, it was in the middle; and in type 3, there were forms both in the middle and at the end. Each form was sent to a sample of 1,000 potential customers, none of whom had previously bought from the retailer. The observed contingency table is given below:

a)   Is there significant evidence that the proportion of order forms received differs for the three types of forms, specify null and alternative hypothesis?

b) Compare the actual cell counts with the expected cell counts to explain where the dependency from part a) comes from

c) Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the probability of receiving the form back, for each of the three methods.
