Biology

Is sexuality research as valid and reliable as other areas of research? Explain

-Answer 20 questions of comprehension chap 1 and 2 also respond to this question -What does environmental science mean to you? -Complete the Calculating Ecological Footprints in Chapter 1. -Answer Seeking Solutions Question #3 For a Conservation Biologist interested in sustaining populations of the organisms that follow, why would it be helpful to take a landscape ecology perspective? Explain your answer for all three cases below. A forest-breeding warbler that suffers poor nesting success in small, fragmented forest patches. A bighorn sheep that must move seasonally between mountains and lowlands A toad that lives in upland areas but travels cross-country to breed in localized pools each spring. the questions you just need to respond like complete sentences like I just need the answer to the questions that’s it just please write what question you talking about from what chapter This link is chapter 1 https://www.slideshare.net/mobile/kimkellmorgan/essential-environment-4e-chapter-1-powerpoints Let me know if you got questions

Lipids and Protein Design a Meal Create a healthy and unhealthy meal from a specific fast food restaurant; make sure to include an entrée, side, drink and dessert. Nutritional Analysis Write a nutritional analysis of the meal you have created (include macronutrients, key vitamins, minerals and any other nutrient worth mentioning); make sure to touch on the major macronutrients like carbs, protein and fat but also include sugar, fiber, sodium, cholesterol and any vitamin and minerals your meals may have. Reflection Discuss your reaction to the analysis for each meal; what did you think about each meal? What surprised you with regard to the nutrient levels/amounts? In this section, it is imperative that you compare the nutrient levels to the standard RDA’s and make comments such as “in the unhealthy meal, 40% of the total calories come from fat and considering the diet is only supposed to contain between 20-30% fat for the entire day, this meal is quite unhealthy”. Make sure to do this for both meals. Critical Thinking How will the above information (the details from the analysis) affect your future food choices? Will you still go to the restaurant; will you change what you will eat; what steps will you take with regard to your health in light of the details you examined from the analysis?

please answer this question do properties of materials tell you how useful or harmful a product is? Explain your answer.

Based on the attachment document answer the question    Provide the typical order of development of secondary sex characteristics in boys and girls. Then think critically: puberty involves the development of sexual maturation. Among the secondary  sex characteristics described in this chapter, which are viewed in your culture as enhancing sexual interest and attractiveness between males and females? Which are not?

Cloning- Research cloning. Consider the following: How is the procedure done? What’s the difference between reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning?  What are the pros? What are the cons? Should it be regulated? Are there currently clones in the market now? Would a clone of a dead relative or pet have the same personality?  List at least one source from your research.

I am writing a report on the biodiversity loss of grey nurse sharks in QLD. I’m using the DPSIR structure, used to address environmental challenges, and I am focusing on the first two categories; driving forces and pressures. For this report, please research and write about the driving forces and pressures that result in the biodiversity loss of grey nurse sharks in QLD (specific to Australia). For example: what are the main human causes of the biodiversity loss aspect you are examining? (Driving forces) How has this biodiversity loss occurred?  What material flows have lead to this biodiversity  loss (pressures)?  You can integrate this aspect with the previous aspect (D) by  considering what are the main driving forces leading to the pressures on biodiversity.  Please refer to journal articles and other cited reports throughout the analysis.

Define igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rock. What type of rock is granite? Limestone? Marble? Explain what is meant by the rock cycle. How does igneous rock change into sedimentary? Sedimentary into metamorphic? Metamorphic into igneous?

For this discussion, everyone will pick a macronutrient and explain the process of digestion and absorption for your nutrient. There are 3 macronutrients. Choose 1 and discuss the topic thoroughly following steps 1 and 2 below. For this discussion you will pick one of the Macronutrients (Carbohydrate, Protein or Fat) and explain the full process of digestion and absorption. You can get creative and post pictures or videos. Some additional things to consider for each nutrient. You do not have to answer all of these questions, they are just meant to get you thinking and researching a little more about your nutrient. You may need to do some outside research for these topics, be sure to include your reputable reference. You only need to comment on the nutrient you chose to explain the digestive process about (i.e. if you explain carbohydrate digestion, only comment on topic (a) below: (a)Carbohydrates: What is the difference in whole food digestion and processed foods. Think whole grain (oatmeal) vs white flours. How does added sugar digestion differ from other complex carbohydrates? What are the benefits of fiber? (b)Protein: What are the differences between animal vs vegetable protein in digestion and absorption? Do all the calories in protein get digested, some people feel that a high protein diet helps with weight loss. How would you explain from a digestive process the calories absorbed from protein vs carbohydrate? (c)Fat: What effect does fat have on satiety. Why might a higher fat content cause issues with someone who has gallstones? Is there a difference in the absorption of MCT oil? Many people feel coconut oil is a super food, is Coconut oil absorbed any differently that other fats?

3. Lander and Waterman derived formulae for the expected completeness of an assembly as a function of coverage c = NL/G, where G = genome length, N = number of reads, L = read length. Then probability that a base is not sequenced = e-c total expected gap length = Ge-c total number of gaps = Ne-c (a) what fraction of a genome could you expect to assemble from eightfold coverage? Present your result as percentage. (b) What total gap length would you expect in an assembly of a 2 Mb target genome size from eightfold coverage? (c) How many gaps would you expect in an assembly of a 2 Mb target genome size from an eightfold coverage of fragments with a read length of 500? (d) You want to sequence to sequence a 4 Mb genome by the shotgun method, by assembling random fragments with read length 500. What coverage would you require, to expect no more than four gaps, assuming no complications arising from repetitive sequences or skewed base composition?
