1. we discussed the variation among several species of (based on the geological dates we have covered) recent human species that do NOT include neanderthals. I would like for you to identify two, and write three to four bullet points to identify characteristics of each.

2. Next, tell me a bit about Neanderthals, and why they are more intelligent and social than stereotypes that exist in popular culture (think Geico commercials, cavemen, etc).

Nurses interact with technology on a daily basis. For this discussion, please address each of the following aspects of the discussion:

1. Describe a human-technology interface that you have encountered in healthcare that you think needs improving.
2. Describe what you would specifically like to see changed about this technology and why?

Describe a situation from your professional experience that backs up your viewpoint and discuss the social, moral, political and economic factors impacting your position.

You are working for a US-based company and have been tasked with integrating an acquisition in Japan (based in Osaka). Prior to this acquisition your company had only a representative office based in Tokyo. What are the four key elements of Human Relations Management and for each element list at least one criterion relevant to your firm’s future success in this marketplace.

He had been convicted of similar crimes in the past and had done time in prison twice. You have two teenage daughters yourself. He offered you cash for your service. What would you do? Why? Be sure to consider legal ethics when making your decision.

One difficulty in extracting sequencing reads that correspond to mitochondrial DNA from mixed fragments of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA is the nuclear genome contains segments homologous to regions of the mitochondrial genome called "numts." Mammalian genomes contain 50-450 kb of numts (the human genome contains 1005 numts, averaging 446 bp).

Estimate the fraction of reads from fragments of mammoth DNA that are likely to be numts. The mammoth genome is approximately 4.7x10^9 bases in length.

1. Give an example of a character studied by Gregor Mendel, and the two traits within that character.
2. Use Punnet squares to predict the phenotype and genotype ratios of each of the following crosses:

1. 1. A true-breeding homozygous
      tall pea plant is crossed with a
      true-breeding homozygous
      short pea plant.
2. 2. Two of the offspring from
      the previous cross are bred.
3. In the previous question, which was the P generation? The F1 generation? The F2 generation?

4. What pattern of inheritance is shown by human blood types?

Explain why Jay was infertile. Ectopic pregnancy Jean, a 23-year-old optician, was rushed into hospital with severe lower abdominal pain and low blood pressure. Examination and tests revealed that Jean had raised serum levels of human chorionic gonadotropin, blood in her peritoneal cavity, and an ectopic pregnancy. The embryo had implanted into the anterior wall of her rectum and had eroded a branch of the superior rectal artery causing an intra-abdominal bleed

A friend believes that the five human senses—seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling, and feeling—are independent from one another and from our judgments of people and the world around us. Explain what is wrong with your friend's belief. 100 words

You have been asked to paint a picture that includes buildings, fields, a river, and a mountain. Describe how you would use at least five monocular cues to give your painting a sense of depth.

Part A

Your book Theories of Human Learning: What the Professor Said - 180 Day Option, 6th Edition
Guy R. Lefrancois discusses several neuropsychological changes that underlie learning. Please describe your thoughts on learning and thinking according to Hebb's theory. Please discuss in detail the relationship between neurology and learning according to this concept and use examples as applicable.

Part B

Compare and contrast Hebb's theory of learning to Tolman's theory of learning.
