On a trip to Mars, you discover a new lifeform, which you name quinks. You decide to look at the genetics behind both body shape and fur color of the quinks. You start with two true-breeding quinks. Galax is a square, purple quink. Nova is a round, green quink. All of the baby quinks from Galax and Nova are square shaped with green fur. Note, questions 1-8 below are all connected to each other.

1. Based on the information provided above, what alleles are dominant?

2. Based on the information provided in the introduction paragraph, what are the genotypes of the F1 offspring of Galax and Nova? Your answer must include the ratio of these genotypes. Make sure that you define the symbols you use for your alleles.

3. During your study, one of the F1 baby quinks from question 2 (you name him Jet) falls in love with a true-breeding round shaped, purple quink named Terra. Jet and Terra shortly have babies of their own (quinks grow up quickly!) What are the genotypes of the offspring of Jet and Terra? Your answer must include the ratio of these genotypes. Make sure that you define the symbols you use for your alleles.

4. What are the phenotypes of the offspring of Jet and Terra from question 3? Your answer must include the ratio of these phenotypes.

5. Your astronaut coworker Buzz wants to do a test cross with one of the square shaped quink babies of Jet and Terra from question 3/4. Buzz calls this square-shaped quink Helio. Why might Buzz want to do this test cross?

6. For this test cross in question 5, you have four quinks to pick from, listed below. Which one do you use to mate with Helio for the test cross? (Pick one)

a. A quink named Orbit with a square body shape (homozygous)

b. A quink named Sunspot with a round body shape (homozygous)

c. A quink named Lumi with a square body shape (heterozygous)

d. A quink named Aerial with a round body shape (heterozygous)

7. You loved your trip to Mars so much, that you went back to further study quinks. On your second trip, you find a quink that has orange fur named Orion. You cross Orion with Nova (true-breeding green quink, from the opening paragraph) and get 50% green and 50% spotted (both orange and green spots) quinks. What is a possible explanation for this? You must support your answer using genetic details.

8. What is the genotype of Orion from question 7? Make sure that you define the symbols you use for your alleles.

A GC needs to fill and compact a trench that has the following dimensions 150 x 50 x 1.5 ft.   The sub is going to use a dump truck that can carry 12 CY, and travels at an average speed of 40 mph. The borrow pit is located 45 miles from the construction site. The truck driver makes $50/hr and works 8 hours per day. Loading time for the truck is 30 minutes and unloading time is 5 minutes. The sub has to rent the truck at $500 per day + a driver @ $50/hour. The cost of soil $20 per BCY. The soil has a swell factor of 18% and a compaction factor of 12%.

How much will the driver cost?

A shell and tube type of heat exchanger with one shell pass and two tube passes will be designed to provide the given heat transfer rate Q(kW) to cool hot water by using cold river water . The hot water flows through the shell and the cold water flows through the tubes. The inlet and outlet temperatures of the hot water and the cold water are given as Thi, The and Tci, Tce in degrees Celcius. Design the shell and tube heat exchanger by making necessary assumptions to calculate the dimensions of the heat exchanger. Q= 10 KW Hot Fluid( Water) Thi= 70 Celcius The= 40 Celcius Cold Fluid ( Water) Tci= 5 Celcius Tce= 15 Celcius 1) Assume the tube diameter and tube length . 2) Assume fouling coefficient based on inside and outside tubes, hdi and hdo . 3) Select the material of construction for the tubes to determine the thermal coefficient. 4) Find the Log Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD) . 5) Obtain the Correction Factor F. 6) Calculate the Mean Temperature Difference. 7) Assume the Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient “U” as initial guess according to type of heat exchanger. 8) Calculate the provisional area. 9) Calculate the number of tubes based on the assumed tube diameter, thickness of the pipe and tube length L. 10) Calculate the tube pitch and bundle diameter.

1. Meat, eggs, and dairy are good sources of protein. When you eat these foods, proteins are digested and absorbed. Follow a protein through the digestion process from the mouth through to the intestines. What enzymes are involved in its digestion? What is the smallest unit that proteins are broken down into? Where are these products absorbed?

2. What are a few things proteins are used for in the body once they’ve been absorbed?


3. Once in the body, amino acids are absorbed by our cells and enter the amino acid pool. From here, a cell will draw from the pool to assemble the proteins it needs at that specific time. What will happen if one or more of the essential amino acids are missing?


4. Describe (in your own words) the four structural levels of a protein.


5. What is the relationship between a protein’s structure and its function? Explain how amino acids side chains impact protein structure and function.


6. DNA guides protein assembly. When there is a mutation in our DNA, the impact on the protein can vary. Explain why some mutations can cause no change to the protein and some can completely disrupt the function of the protein.


7. Your body prefers not to use proteins for energy, but it will as a last resort. Explain how amino acids are broken down to generate ATP in this scenario.

8. What happens to the nitrogen portion of the amino acid?


9. Your doctor measures your nitrogen balance and finds it is negative. What does this mean about how your body is using protein? How can you balance out your nitrogen levels?

10. If you decided to become a vegetarian or vegan, how would you ensure you were eating adequate protein? Think about not just the amount, but also the essential amino acids.

11. The RDA for protein is listed below. Calculate your own personal protein requirements and show your work for full credit. You will need to convert your weight to kg. There are 2.2 lbs in 1 kg.

Ex: a 50 kg adult would need 50 kg*0.8 g/kg = 40 g protein per day

The queuing process begins at 10:00 am proceeds for nearly 2 hours. An arrival goes to the service facility immediately; if it is empty otherwise it will wait in a queue. The queue. The queue discipline is first come first served. If the attendant's wages are K10,000 per hour and the customer's waiting time cost K11,000 per hour, would it be an economical proposition to engage second attendant?
