1. Bisphenol A is a plasticizer widely used in polycarbonate water bottles and liners in metal food cans. A plasticizer is a chemical blended with plastic polymers to make the plastic softer and more pliable. Out of health concerns, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is currently considering tightening regulations on bisphenol A use and lowering human exposure limits. a) Assuming your blood serum is similar to water, what is the maximum concentration of bisphenol A that could be present in your blood serum? Assume bisphenol A behaves most like a polychlorinated biphenyl. b) Assuming your fatty tissues are similar in polarity to octanol, what would be the equilibrium concentration of bisphenol A in your fatty tissues if your blood serum contained the concentration you calculated in part a?

Lois Lane Kent's husband has passed on three unusual traits to their daughter; X-ray vision, sensitivity to kryptonite and muscles of steel. A book given to Mr. Kent by his mother states that the genes for these traits are dominant, and that the vision and muscle loci are located 16 map units apart on the same autosome, while the kryptonite locus is located on another autosome.  

Assuming that an average human male eill someday marry this "Super Girl", Lois is worried about the chances that her grandchildren will inherit the same genes that have made her daughter such a difficult child to raise. What is the possibility of Lois Lane Kent's grandchildren will have:

A) All three dominant traits

B) X-ray vision and sensitivity to kryptonite, but normal muscles?

1. John Thurgood founded a company that translates Chinese books into English. His company is currently testing a computer-based translation service. Since Chinese symbols are difficult to translate, John assumes the computer program will make some errors, but then so do human translators. The computer error rate, as promised by the computer program developer, is no more than three errors per 400 words. Suppose John randomly selects a 1200-word passage. If 15 errors are found in the 1200-word passage, what would you conclude about the computer program developer’s claim? Why? (Assume that it is possible for the computer to make more than one error in translating each word in the passage).

How do I enter this into minitab?

What direct evidence do scholars present for behavioral links between gorillas/chimpanzees and humans. Give at least four examples.  

What kinds of advantages, in terms of evolutionary fitness, do cooperative behaviors provide among different species of non human primates, and under what selective pressures would behaviors such as altruism (toward kin and nonkin) be likely to evolve?

Why has being social been selected for (called a prosocial behavioral strategy) among some primates, including humans? Come up with a reason for its adaptation.

You are at a dinner table and your uncle says, “If evolution were true, then why do we still have monkeys?” After taking this class how would you answer?

What blood type(s) can a child born to a mother with B- blood type and a father with A+ blood type have? Explain your answer fully.

Be sure to focus on the concepts of dominant and recessive alleles, multiple alleles, and codominance in your explanation.

Are there any special concerns this mother should consider? Explain.

Can blood type be used to determine paternity? Why or why not?

How do you think O can be the most common blood type when type O is recessive?

Although the human population as a whole share the same 29 known blood systems, not all ethnic groups have the same ratios of blood types in their populations. Discuss this fact from an evolutionary perspective.

drexel has discovered a new fictitious compound called Edistatin, a Low-Chol, they believe has promising pharmacologic benefit. A patent was granted for the compound, and all of the required animal testing was submitted to the FDA with the IND application. The FDA gave approval to proceed with human testing. Construct a one-page summary of what you think should be the required studies Phase I, II, and III to submit in the NDA. For each phase, include the objective of the study (studies), type of subjects selected, outcomes measures (i.e. cholesterol reduction and safety), and results. Be creative!! We are interested in your approach based upon your readings.

Background: Assume that the effective dose is 10 and 20 mg. The safety profile is that of other statin products such as Lipitor, etc.
