1. Provide a general definition for the concept of sensory adaptation. If you were a marketing manager for an air freshener company, why should you be concerned about sensory adaptation? At least two different household products are available in the marketplace that makes use of the phenomenon of sensory adaptation: Febreze’s NOTICEables. and Glade’s Lasting Impressions Air Freshener. Both products are air fresheners that use warmed oil to scent the air with fragrances. Explain, from a psychological standpoint, how this product works to support the claims made by the company. Be sure to include at least two features of human sensation or perception in your response.

Sternberg and Gardner have proposed multiple-intelligence theories against traditional theories that focused on a single view of intelligence. Critics of multiple-intelligence theories ask whether every specialized skill must have a separate intelligence. On the other hand, studies of the brain have shown that it processes different categories of data in different parts of the brain. Do you think that the evolutionary psychology approach answers the criticism leveled against multiple-intelligence approaches? Research information on how the human brain processes different categories of data in different parts of the brain. Use two or more resources please.

The failure of Frannie Mae and Freddie Mac can be attributed to several weaknesses within the internal environment ranging from procedures and system failures to human capacity and ethical issues.
Identify five areas of Risks that the bank failed to mitigate adequately that could have contributed to the crisis at the bank in 2008.
Present one argument for each risk you identified above to demonstrate why the poor management of that risk contributed to the demise of that financial institution.
Provide one sound recommendation for each risk that you identified above that could. have helped to mitigate or prevent the financial failure

Is smoking during pregnancy associated with premature births? To investigate this question, researchers selected a random sample of 148 pregnant women who were smokers. The average pregnancy length for this sample of smokers was 262 days. From a large body of research, it is known that length of human pregnancy has a standard deviation of 16 days. The researchers assume that smoking does not affect the variability in pregnancy length.
Find the 95% confidence interval to estimate the length of pregnancy for women who smoke.
(Note: The critical z-value to use, zc, is: 1.960)

Class,
As you learned this week, human beings do not have the most sensitive or acute sensory systems in the animal world. Some bats can hear frequencies that exceed 100,000 Hertz, dolphins receive auditory messages from great distances, and cats can probably localize sounds better than we do because they can rotate their ears. Rats see better at night than we can, eagles have more acute distance vision, and horses have a wider visual field. Rabbits have more taste buds than we do, and many animals have a keener sense of smell.
This exercise asks you to consider how you would perceive the world if your senses were more acute or sensitive than they actually are. Please answer the following questions and post it to the discussion board. List a few things you would see, that you cannot see now, if your sense of vision were "better."
List a few things you would hear, that you cannot hear now, if you could hear "better." If your chemical senses-taste and smell-were more sensitive, how might you be affected?
Why are our senses no more and no less acute or sensitive than they are?
If human beings continue to be urban creatures for the next few million years, in what ways might our sensory systems evolve or change?
Lastly, you must read other students' posts and respond to at least one other studenti Prof. Karina

Q1. You have considered single locus and two locus (di) hybrid crosses for loci with alleles that are completely dominant/recessive.
Come up with a general rule for the proportion of offspring expected to have the phenotype of all the recessive traits associated with X autosomal loci when fully heterozygous parents are crossed.
Now, use that logic and provide the expected proportion of offspring that show recessive phenotype for 4 loci and the dominant phenotype the 5th locus when two fully heterozygous parents are crossed.
Q2. Adaptive evolution depends upon mutations to generate genetic variation. Yet, evolutionary theory predicts that mutations are random and yet most mutations are harmful (deleterious) or have no effect (neutral). Explain this apparent paradox drawing upon your knowledge of genomic elements and gene structures. Does changing the mutation rate (for example, by exposure to mutagens) alter these expectations? Defend your argument.
Q3. Sickle cell anaemia: The selective forces that a population experiences can vary by context, especially by geographic place.
a. Explain how natural selection affects the evolution of haemoglobin in humans and how and why theselectivepressuresdifferamonghumanpopulations. UseAfricaandEuropeasexamplesof human populations, give genotypes and explain selective pressures.
b. Is natural selection on haemoglobin in African populations best described as disruptive, stabilizing or directional selection?
c. Is natural selection on haemoglobin in Australian populations (no malaria) best described as disruptive, stabilizing or directional selection?
d. For human populations living in Australia (no malaria), do you expect the Hs allele to eventually go extinct? Explain why or why not.
