Noncommunicable diseases in the U.S.

/in /by

Select a middle- or low-income country of your choice (please select a country and not a region). Also select a non-communicable disease that is one of the leading noncommunicable diseases in the U.S. [5 points for identifying the country and disease, and providing an overview of the situation].
Compare and contrast the two countries on this issue. Look for an article (news, video, web site) that provides information on your selected country [5 points for providing some statistics, and identifying whether it is a leading issue of concern in the country of choice. Explain your stance].
This is not supposed to be a long assignment (approximately ½ – 1 page).
Cite and reference your source so that I can find the information. Citations and references should be in APA Style (7.0) [2 points].

In 250-300 word answer the following question.
The United States underwent dramatic changes in the late nineteenth century, including the development of

Risk management

/in /by

Make a speech with a slide according to the topic and reading material.
You only need to be responsible for the operational risk and the reporting risk and make a suggestion about the
way UBC shall respond to the identified risks and as to the university department that should be assigned
responsibility at UBC for each of the identified risks.

1a. The divergence between Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans at putatively neutral sites is 0.128 and the species are thought to have diverged 2.5 million years ago. What is the mutation rate per site per year? (2 marks)

D = 2 u t
U = D(2t)
u = 0.128/(2 x 2.5 x 10^6) = 2.56 x 10^-8

b. If Drosophila species typically go through 10 generations per year, what is the mutation rate per site per generation? (2 marks)

u = Dg/2t
Ug = (2.56×10^-8)/10 = 2.56 x 10^-9

c. Describe how you can more directly estimate the mutation rate. (2 marks)

d. Let us imagine that using the method described in (c) we estimate the mutation rate per site per generation in Drosophila melanogaster to be greater than that estimated using the phylogenetic method. Assuming the method in (c) is correct give two reasons for the discrepancy (e.g. the species might have diverged more recently than assumed; assuming a longer divergence time depresses the phylogenetic estimate) (4 marks)

2a. It is generally assumed that advantageous mutations occur infrequently. Explain why. (2 marks)

b. Imagine that we have three loci, of equal length and mutation rate; the first has only advantageous mutations, the second neutral and the third deleterious mutations. Rank them in order of expected diversity (greatest first). (2 marks
Neutral
Advantageous
Deleterious
