Electra and Ranger both have white coats but their son Trotter is pink! How is this possible? Give the genotypes of both Electra and Ranger and show the Punnett square. 2. Forester does not have magical blood and he wants to make sure that none of his children have to go through the ridicule that he has gone through. What would the genotype of his wife have to be to ensure that all of his children have magical blood? 3. (a) Celestia’s genotype is cc. What is her phenotype? (b) Romper’s genotype is a carrier for coat color. What is his genotype? (c) What is the chance their son will be white? 4. (a) Elita has a spiral horn. What is her genotype? (b) Considering karyotypes don’t show genes and the cost of sequencing is prohibitive, what type of test can we do to determine Elita’s genotype? (c) If Chaser has a smooth horn and all of their offspring have spiral horns, what is Elita’s genotype? Show your work. 5. (a) Jumper is heterozygous for horn texture and homozygous dominant for blood powers. What is his genotype? (b) List the gametes that Jumper can produce. (c) Airy is homozygous recessive for horn textures and heterozygous for blood powers. What is her genotype? (d) List the gametes that Airy can produce (e) What is the phenotypic ratio of their children? 6. (a) There is a rare but terrible condition in which the horn isn’t formed. A missing horn (M) is an autosomal dominant condition whereas the presence of the horn is the recessive condition. Deva is heterozygous. What is her phenotype? (b) If she marries Cracker who is homozygous recessive, will any of their children have the condition? Show your work. (c) Will any of their children be carriers for this condition? Explain. 7. What is the phenotypic ratio for the mating of Stroller (CcBb) and Snowy (CcBb)?

Describe the fluid mosaic structure of cellular membranes.

/in /by

Our cells are bounded by delicate cell membranes that separate living cells from their abiotic environment. Cell membranes control what enters and leaves our cells. Eukaryotic cells, like ours, are further subdivided into membrane compartments, the organelles, that conduct the various functions of our cells. The membranes surrounding and within our cellular organelles control what enters and leaves the organelles and further subdivide organelles into smaller, separate compartments, each with its own special chemistry.
To post your answer.
How do the membranes of cells and the organelles they contain control the movement of materials?
1. Describe the fluid mosaic structure of cellular membranes.
2. Describe the diffusion of materials through the phospholipid bilayer.
3. Describe the diffusion of materials through passive transport proteins.
4. Explain the role of ATP in the active transport of materials across a membrane.
5. Describe endocytosis and exocytosis and explain the difference between the two.

How do we recognize and quantify aging?

/in /by

EXAM TWO
3 essays
Please cite your sources as necessary. Citations should be internal, appearing in parentheses immediately after the appropriate sentence. Do not include a bibliography. Only work which you actually cite, needs to be listed. In other words, I do not need to see references, it is assumed that the class materials are referenced.
This exam will be graded using the SLA Multi Essay Rubric [226.6 KB PDF file].
The grade will be based on:
1. Completion. Complete responses to all three (3) questions. Each response should be 250-300 words. If the questions are not completely answered, deduction will be based upon the per cent of work completed.
2. Errors in spelling /grammar may contribute to a deduction of up to 30%., for example if the writing is such that the meaning of the sentences is obscured.
3. Facts are correct and ideas are supported with references or supported rationale. Excessive use of unsupported information will result in up to a 30% deduction.
4. The essays are clearly are informed by the textbook and the terminology and complexity represent that of the textbook. Papers that are not demonstrating the students ability to read and comprehend the assigned chapters in the textbook, will result in up to a 30% deduction.
5. Before you submit this assignment to the dropbox below, be sure to upload a copy to the “Final” dropbox for this assignment on Turnitin.com. A “Draft” dropbox is also available so that you can use the originality report provided as a learning tool to improve your work prior to final submission.
Question 1
According to the textbook, what are the specific characteristics of aging? For example, one characteristic to include is animal life cycle stage in which aging occurs. Make sure to include at least one molecular characteristic.
How do we recognize and quantify aging? Use examples to demonstrate individual characteristics of aging. For one characteristic, explain any research and the research question (you may use outside sources for this part of the question, but they are not required).
Question 2
Consider one scientist (from Aristotle to the present) who has advanced our understanding of sex determination. Summarized his/her work, evidence, importance. What is one application of this biologist’s work? What, if any, aspects of the work are no longer considered valid and why?
Question 3
Argue that cancer is a disease of development. Cite the textbook. Make sure to include the theoretical relationship between cancer and stem cells.
