Question #1:Do support required labeling of GMO foods?  Why or why not? Give your reasoning. Do you buy organic foods? If so, which ones and why?Question #2: Do a search on “power foods”. Choose one that interests you and share your findings with the class. Would you start adding this food to your diet? Why or why not?

Directions:  Each week you will be asked to state the tests you wish to perform in order to identify your Unknown organism.  Once you have chosen your desired tests, the results will be provided for you to interpret before stating which tests you would like to perform next.  It is important to note that you should not preform all of the tests we performed in class.  Some were specific for Gram-positive and some for Gram-negative.  In a laboratory you would not be able to perform all of the tests as this would be a waste of time and resources, so choose your tests carefully. Please write your answers in a different text color so I can easily spot it. Week #1 Results of Gram Stain      Results of MacConkey

Guevedoces: individuals reported to apparently change gender naturally at puberty, from female to male. These people have been observed in an isolated village in the Dominican Republic and in the eastern highlands of Papua New Guinea. Infants with a female appearance at birth begin to develop the physical characteristics of a male during puberty. Affected individuals are born with male (XY) chromosomes. Because of a deficiency of the 5 a-reductase enzymes, testosterone is not converted to the biologically active form, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In the absence of DHT, the infant’s external genitalia appear to be an ambiguous clitoris and labia. Biology is not as black and white as many people claim it is. Choose from TWO of the following list of biological gender non-specific mutations. This is not a complete list, nor does it involve psychological aspects of human gender identity.  A. SRY gene mutationB. Aphallia 1. Explain the genetic etiology of disorders.2. Describe the symptoms and basic statistics.3. Contemplate how it plays a roll in the persons perceived gender?

1. Be sure that your paper has an appropriate introduction and conclusion. 2. Describe cancer and how it develops:  What is cancer? What is a tumor? What roles do genes and mutations play in cancer developing? What are proto-oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes? What are the general risk factors which contribute to the risk of developing cancer? 3. Describe the biology of your specific topic…be specific about sources of this dietary substance, which types of cancer are affected by this factor, and the mechanism (ideally, at the cellular level) for how this substance reduces or promotes the development of cancer. 4. Provide experimental evidence or studies which support what the effects (positive and/or negative) of this specific factor are on developing cancer. Describe at least two studies. What are the results? If study results are mixed, which ones are more credible, and why would the results differ from one study to the next? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_and_cancer#:~:text=A%20woman%20drinking%20an%20average,increases%20by%2011%20per%201000.

Problem 5. (40 pts) Three alleles code for blood type. The number of people with each genotype has been determined: Using this data, calculate the allelic frequencies for this population. (5 pts)  2. Determine the expected number of people in 100,000 that would have A, B, AB, and O blood type if the population was in HW equilibrium (10 pts)  For more information on Blood Type read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_type

1. Kate is born with features that do not look quite normal. Her eyes are wide-set and slightly slanted. Her nose is short and flat, and she keeps her mouth slightly open. There is a straight crease across her palm, and her fifth digit is unusually short. The doctor tells her parents she has an inherited disorder. If you were the doctor what would you diagnosis Kate with? Discuss the etiology of Kate’s disorder? What is the biggest risk factor for this disorder? How can or will this disorder affect Kate? What test could have been completed to diagnosis this disorder before Kate’s birth? 2. Research one autosomal dominant disease, one autosomal recessive disease, and a sex-linked disease. For each disease discuss 1. Etiology, 2. Signs and Symptoms, 3. Diagnosis, 4. Treatment and Prevention. Provide additional information from an outside source.3. A 12-year-old child experiences high fever and chills. He also says that his heart feels like it’s pounding. Two weeks before these symptoms, the child fell off his bike and skinned his knee. This child also has a history of a heart murmur. What disease should be considered and what is the treatment? What congenital heart disease is associated with heart murmurs? 4. A 59-year-old male calls the paramedics after experiencing an episode of chest pain while shoveling snow. He describes his pain as a crushing, tight feeling that radiates to his left arm and jaw. What type(s) of heart disease is this patient experiencing (explain)? What diagnostic test would you expect the physician to order and why? What is the treatment?
