(Q001) Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD deficiency) is an inherited disorder where either the body has less of the G6PD enzyme than normal or the available G6PD is not functioning correctly. This deficiency affects red blood cell function and may result in anemia (the destruction of red blood cells) when people with the condition have infections, are taking certain medications, or eat certain foods. People with G6PD deficiency may have some protection from malaria because their abnormal red blood cells interfere with the reproduction of the malaria parasite in their bodies.

Consider the prevalence of G6PD deficiency estimated by the World Health Organization (WHO) as shown in the map on p. 247 of your lab manual. Compare the distribution of G6PD deficiency with the distributions of the sickle-cell trait and malaria shown in Figure 8.9 on p. 238 of your lab manual. What similarities between these distributions do you notice? What differences do you notice?

(Q002) Why might these similarities and differences exist? Be sure to consider the evolutionary context (including the natural environment, cultural practices, and interbreeding).

A production manager at a pottery factory has noticed that about 70 percent of defects result from impurities in raw materials, 15 percent result from human error, 10 percent from machine malfunctions, and 5 percent from a variety of other causes. This manager is most likely using a-

1) A) Explain how carbon dioxide (a waste product of cellular respiration) is removed from a body cell and expelled from the body

B) Pretend you are a red blood cell and describe your journey through the human adult heart beginning with either the superior or inferior vena cava and ending with the aorta. Please include all major blood vessels, the 4 heart chambers, and the lungs. You do not need to include the heart valves.

There is a large amount of research supporting the hypothesis that workers on the night shift have significantly more accidents and make more errors than workers on other time shifts. Discuss ways to improve the safety of workers on night shift. Conduct internet search to see what resources and tips are available for night shift workers. Discuss schedules of work that would allow the night hours to be covered, but may be better suited for human circadian rhythms.

1) What is the consequence of having denser and more spherical lenses (than human eye lenses). What are the advantages/disadvantages of this? (Hint: fish have them)

2) What is the advantage of being able to move lenses to different distances from the retina? (Hint: fish do this)

3) Many fish have a "tapetum" (a layer of reflective material just behind their retina). How does the tapetum interfere with high-resolution, crisp vision?

(a) A compiler is the same as an interpreter.
(b) We can only use high-level language and not low-level language to write a
computer program.
(c) Low-level language is close to machine language and high-level language
is close to human language.
(d) Algorithm design is not important in software development process.
(e) When the computer is on, the first loading program is the Operating System.
