The distinction between artificial selection and natural selection is important to master. Consider a bacteria that does not cause human disease. Describe these processes using illustrative examples. Your examples may be fictitious, but they need to be realistic and make biological sense.
[2 pts] Describe a specific example in which the bacteria changes (evolves) in a manner that illustrates artificial selection. Your description should contain an explanation.

Suppose that you are working as part of a team designing a network for XYZ high school. Consider that the school has six departments, Admin, Academic, Human Resource (HR), Finance, IT support and Sports.
1. Analyse the project hardware requirements along with the number of devices and cost. [3 Marks]
2. Justify the approach you would be taking to design the network for the school. [3 Marks]
3. Using the network simulator (such as packet tracer) design the network. [4 Marks]
4. Illustrate the network configuration you have used. [5 Marks]

You have isolated what appears to be an intracellular parasite from a blood culture from a human case of chronic fatigue syndrome in Chester County , Pennsylvania. Electron microscopic studies indicated that the isolate looks like a virus, but the results are not conclusive. Your virology/bacteriology training makes you believe that this isolate is either a new virus or a coxiella. Your virology professor tells you that your isolate is not a bacterium.. How would you go about to establish whether the new isolate is a virus or a bacterium? If it is a virus, name it, and explain the basis for your naming it this way.

1.Economic laws have been true throughout human history. As an example, consider the following passage, from Professor Samaddar’s lectures on the economy of Ancient India:
“Weaving in India has been encouraged from time immemorial... As is the case now-a-days, labourers working overtime were given extra payment... and special rewards were given for working on holidays.” (p.117)
Using a supply and demand diagram in the market for labour, clearly explain why Indian Workers working overtime or during holidays were paid extra. (15%)
