b) Discuss the factors that influence the case fatality rate.

a. Are sexually reproducing organisms usually diploid?

b. What is a gene allele? Gene "bingo" is present once in a complete haploid set, how many alleles does a diploid individual have? How many copies of gene "bingo" are present in a diploid individual?

Bradford DeLong was the first to show that there is no significant evidence of countries’ levels of GDP per capita converging, nor of their growth rate. The first problem could easily be fixed within the Solow/Swan framework by adding additional factors of production such as human capital. Explain why such differences could explain differences of well-being (in terms of the model).
