1. Which describes the outcome of both vertical and lateral gene transfer?

leads to rapid evolution of a population

increases variability in a population

results in large changes to the genetic code

occurs between nonrelated organisms

are types of mutation

2. Which of the following occurs in vertical gene transfer, but does not occur in horizontal gene transfer?

a type of asexual reproduction

rapid evolutionary changes

the use of a sex pilus

interaction between parent and offspring

plasmid transfers

3. Which of the following best describes the role of vertical gene transfer in evolution?

The types of genes passed on in vertical gene transfer are determined by artificial selection.

Vertical gene transfer is not affected by fitness.

Vertical gene transfer involves sexual reproduction that increases variation.

Mechanisms of evolution do not act on processes of vertical gene transfer.

Organisms that utilize vertical gene transfer have an increased chance of mutation.

4. Which of the following is not part of the process of bacterial conjugation?

plasmids

F+ cells

F– cells

sex pilus

Human Impacts On The Rainforest-Past And Present

Directions: For each time frame below, provide the amount of trees per acre and rate of destruction (or improvement if that is the case). Fill in the remaining portions of the chart. Be sure to include at least three academic sources (please do not use blogs or Wikipedia). For maximum points, include detailed information, include units, and include citations. 

Now that you are aware of the issues, what are some things you can do as a consumer to help preserve the rainforest? Provide at least two examples and use complete sentences.

 

What are two ways you can help raise awareness for a species that has become endangered due to deforestation? Use complete sentences.

Identify the major similarities and differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells

Answer Key:

This contains 100% correct material for UMUC Biology 103 LAB03. However, this is an Answer Key, which means, you should put it in your own words. Here is a sample for the Pre lab questions answered:

Pre-Lab Questions

1. Identify the major similarities and differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. (2 pts)

Prokaryotes tend to be less complex than eukaryotic cells, with fewer organelles and (generally) fewer requirements for survival. Eukaryotes have a nucleus, while prokaryotes do not. Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes have DNA, a cell membrane, and cytoplasm.

 

2. Where is the DNA housed in a prokaryotic cell? Where is it housed in a eukaryotic cell? (2 pts)

DNA is housed in the nucleus in eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, and thus DNA exists freely in the cytoplasm.

 

3. Identify three structures which provide support and protection in a eukaryotic cell. (2 pts)

The cell membrane, the cytoplasm, and the cytoskeleton (microtubules, microfilaments, etc.).

Compare and contrast Health Assesment

Compare the physical assessment of a child to that of an adult. In addition to describing the similar/different aspects of the physical assessment, explain how the nurse would offer instruction during the assessment, how communication would be adapted to offer explanations, and what strategies the nurse would use to encourage engagement.

 

Child Abuse Essay

Child abuse and maltreatment is not limited to a particular age—it can occur in the infant, toddler, preschool, and school-age years. Choose one of the four age groups and outline the types of abuse most commonly seen among children of that age. Describe warning signs and physical and emotional assessment findings the nurse may see that could indicate child abuse. Discuss cultural variations of health practices that can be misidentified as child abuse. Describe the reporting mechanism in your state and nurse responsibilities related to the reporting of suspected child abuse.

 

Case Study Analysis Essay

Read the “Case Study Analysis.”

Select one of the following theories that you feel best applies to treating the client in the case study:

 

Behavioral

 

Rational Emotive Behavioral

 

Write a 750-1,000-word analysis of the case study using the theory you chose. Include the following in your analysis.

 

What concepts of the theory make it the most appropriate for the client in the case study?

 

Why did you choose this theory over the other theory?

 

What will be the goals of counseling and what intervention strategies are used to accomplish those goals?

 

Is the theory designed for short- or long-term counseling?

 

What will be the counselor’s role with this client?

 

What is the client’s role in counseling?

 

For what population(s) is this theory most appropriate? How does this theory address the social and cultural needs of the client?

 

What additional information might be helpful to know about this case?

 

What may be a risk in using this approach?

 

Include at least three scholarly references outside of the course textbook in your paper.

 

Each response to the assignment prompts should be addressed under a separate heading in your paper. Refer to “APA Headings and Seriation,” located on the Purdue Owl website for help in formatting the headings.

 

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Review The Region 6, King County, Washington State Homeland Security

Review the Region 6, King County, Washington State Homeland Security Strategic Plan and ascertain who the internal and external stakeholders are and what roles they may have played in the development of the plan. Choose one internal and one external stakeholder to focus on, explaining their possible role in the plan development more in depth. 

 

What is the goal, or final cause, of tech innovation in our time?

What is the goal, or final cause, of tech innovation in our time?  What do you think we risk when we fail to consider, as a culture, whether tech innovation is actually improving our lives?
