You perform a dihybrid cross of plants. The first trait is flower color. “A” is the dominant allele and causes red petals and “a” is the recessive allele and causes white petals. Stem length is the second trait. “L” is the dominant allele and causes a long stem and “l” is the recessive allele and causes short stems. You cross a Red Long plant that is heterozygous for both traits with a Red Short plant that is heterozygous for color.
1. How many different types of gametes can the red long plant make?
2. How many different types of gametes can the red short plant make?
Assume that 80 plants are the offspring of this cross. Given that number, how many of the 80 offspring will fall into each of the following categories?
3. Red Long:
4. Red Short:
5. White Long:
6. White Short:

Psychologists have described the human nervous system as the communication and control center for the body. The nervous system allows us to take in information from the environment, communicate the information to different parts of the body, and coordinate the body's response. The nervous system itself is made up of neurons, or nerve cells, that communicate with each other by receiving and transmitting electrochemical signals, called neurotransmission. All human behavior is made possible by the activity of individual neurons working together in the nervous system. Think about a simple action you do every day, like answering your phone. When you perform this routine act, what are the individual neurons in your nervous system doing to make it possible?
In a multi-paragraph essay, explain how the activity of individual neurons enables you to perform a simple action like answering your phone. Be sure to describe the main parts of a neuron, explain the unique function of each part, and describe how neurons use electrochemical signals for neurotransmission. Include details from class materials, readings, and research on the nervous system to support your discussion.

Use the classical model for determining the long-run outcome of the economy to answer the following question. Suppose a government in debt crisis (such as Greece) moves to reduce its budget deficit by reducing the annual funding for tertiary education and healthcare drastically.
(b) State and explain in words what happens to the real interest rate, national saving, investment, consumption, and output.
(c) Discuss the likely impact of such policy on the inequality of income between the educated and uneducated labour. Support your answer with graphical illustrations.
(d) Suppose the above policy causes a sudden emigration of workers with no education to neighbouring countries for easier access to education and health facilities. Assume TFP does not decrease following the government policy shock, as in part a (i), and following the labour migration. How would your answer to (b) and (c) change? (part a (i):i. First, by assuming that the total factor productivity (TFP) does not depend on the government spending on health and education.)

1. An investigator uses children’s WISC IQ scores as part of her study of how children respond to different teaching methods. She obtains a random sample of four children from a 5th grade class and obtains their WISC IQ scores. Their scores are shown below. Her null hypothesis is that her sample does not differ from the general population of 5th graders, whose IQ scores are assumed to have a m of 100 and a s of 15. She decides to use the known m and s, adopts an a of .05, and uses a non-directional (i.e., 2-sided) alternative hypothesis.
IQ scores: 112, 110, 123, 115
Assume the investigator does not know m and wishes to construct a confidence interval using her sample mean, s, and sample size. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean (2-sided). Show your work. State your confidence interval and briefly explain what it means.

Sam the Butcher aquires the following new ten-year class property in 2017. Use $510,000 as the maximum Section 179 amount:
| Asset | Acquisition Date | Cost |
| A | January 10 |
$343,000 |
| B | July 16 | $68,000 |
|
C |
November 20 | $227,000 |
Sam elects Section 179 for Asset A first then Asset C. Sam's taxable income from the butch shop would not creat a limiltaion for purposes of Section 179 deduction. Sam elects not to take the additional first-year depreciation.
1. Determine Sam's depreciation deduction for each asset for 2017.
2. Determine Sam's total depreciation deduction for 2017.

Hi, I need your answer this question below.Br/H
a) A market has the following demand function: ?(?) = 100 − 5? where y is total sold quantity of the good on the market and ?(?) is the price for which it sells for. What is the price elasticity of demand at y=10? (4 points)
b) True or false? A Nash equilibrium is always a subgame perfect Nash equilibrium. Explain! (3 points)
c) Explain what third-degree price discrimination is and under which circumstances it is likely that it can occur.
d) Assume that there are good spaceships (plums) and bad spaceships (lemons) in the market for used spaceships. The sellers know what they are selling but the buyers do not know what they are buying. Explain under what circumstances the plums might disappear from the market and suggest one way of dealing with this problem?
e) State the Coase theorem and explain the role of transaction costs.
