Basselopes and Reproductive Barriers Between Species Review this information on an invented comic animal, then follow the assignment instructions at the bottom. Basselopes were created by Berkeley Breathed in his Bloom County Comic Strip. Berkeley Breathed wrote an entire book devoted to the basselope entitled The Last Basselope: One Ferocious Story . A basselope is part Basset Hound and part Antelope. They are very rare. Rumor has them to be vicious and unpredictable creatures when in fact they are very docile, peaceful animals. See attached mug shots of the last basselope named Rosebud. Your assignment is to discuss/describe the pre-zygotic and post-zygotic reproductive barriers that are present that may or may not impede the mating of a Basset Hound and an Antelope. The following information is provided to help support or disclaim your arguments as to the ability of a Basset Hound and Antelope to produce viable, fertile offspring. Basset Hound (Dog) Antelope (Pronghorn) # of chromosomes 78 chromosomes or 39 pairs of homologous chromosomes 58 chromosomes or 29 pairs of homologous chromosomes Breeding season Twice a year, one of which could be from Aug to Oct. Last week in August to first week of October Gestation Period (Length of pregnancy) 63 days 7 – 7 ½ months # of babies per pregnancy 7 -10 average 2 Age of sexual maturity 6 – 12 months 1 year Dietary habits Omnivores – eat almost anything Vegetarians – eat shrubs, forbs, grass, flowers (like daisies), and fruit Similar Habits Curious Disinclination to jump over fences and other objects – prefer to crawl under or between obstacles Eat constantly Curious Disinclination to jump over fences and other objects – prefer to crawl under or between obstacles Eat constantly Different Habits Sedate, though can track for hours (running speed about 2 miles/hour for SHORT bursts) Primarily use sense of smell Prefer to be next to range/stove Thrive on human attention Swift runners (run at just under 70 KM/ hour) Primarily use sense of sight Prefer open range Prefer little human contact In a separate document, describe in narrative form the barriers that exist between the two species. Discuss both pre-zygotic and post-zygotic barriers. You might also address how it is possible that these species mated and produced a viable offspring at all. .

Genetics & Evolutionary Biology Vocabulary
This document contains definitions of key biology and genetics terms provided by a student named Beverley Sutton from Pistor Middle School. The definitions are simplified explanations intended for other students to understand. Some terms defined include adaptation, allele, asexual reproduction, cell, cell division, chromosome, DNA, dominant, evolve, gene, genotype, heterozygous, inherit, migrate, natural selection, offspring, phenotype, punnett square, recessive, sexual reproduction, species, and symbiosis.
Evolution
The document summarizes key concepts related to evolution including:
1. Evolution occurs as genetic changes in a population over time lead to changes in traits and gene frequencies. Equilibrium is when a population's gene pool is stable.
2. Natural selection drives evolution when heritable traits that increase survival and reproduction become more common in a population. Variation, reproductive competition, and heritability are required.
3. Isolation, including geographic, ecological, behavioral and reproductive barriers, can lead to genetic changes and speciation as populations diverge independently.
4. Evidence for evolution includes homologous structures, the fossil record, molecular and genetic similarities, geographic distribution patterns, and examples of artificial and natural selection
Speciation NICE.ppt
Speciation is the evolutionary process by which new biological species arise. It occurs through reproductive isolation, where interbreeding between populations is prevented due to barriers before or after reproduction. Reproductive isolating mechanisms include pre-zygotic barriers like geographic isolation or behavioral differences, and post-zygotic barriers that reduce hybrid viability or fertility. Speciation can happen gradually over long periods of time or through punctuated bursts of rapid change. The main modes of speciation are allopatric, where physical separation causes genetic divergence; sympatric, within the same habitat; and parapatric, along a contact zone between populations.
02 taxonomy
The document discusses taxonomy, which is the science of naming organisms and classifying them into taxonomic groups. It explains key concepts in taxonomy including the biosphere, binomial nomenclature, and dichotomous keys. The development of taxonomy from early classifiers like Aristotle to modern systems developed by Linnaeus involving hierarchical classification across seven main taxa is summarized.
Pan Troglodytes ( Chimpanzee )
This document summarizes information about chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). It discusses their taxonomy, morphology, ecology/diet, tool use, and social behavior. Chimpanzees live in groups ranging from 15-120 individuals. They are highly social and spend their days feeding, grooming and playing together. They are also territorial and may kill outsiders from other groups. Chimpanzees use tools like sticks and stones and engage in behaviors like hunting and nest-building. They are one of the few non-human animal species known to use tools.
Common ancestors
This document contains notes from a science class on evolution and common ancestry. It includes definitions of key terms like inheritable vs. acquired traits, common ancestors, and evidence that indicates common ancestry. Examples used to illustrate the concepts include the Galapagos finches and how their beak variations evolved due to different food sources on different islands, as well as molecular evidence from similar DNA sequences. Students are prompted to answer questions drawing on these concepts.
Copy of Introduction to Habitats Project
This document discusses different animal habitats including the wild, zoos, farms, and human homes. It argues that while the wild may seem ideal, animals in the wild actually live with high fear, low food supply, and an unforgiving social hierarchy. Animals are not truly free in the wild and are constrained by territorial needs. The document asserts that well-designed zoo enclosures can fulfill an animal's basic needs for territory, food, and safety, and that animals will view such enclosures as their homes rather than prisons. Students are asked to consider which habitats provide the highest and lowest quality of life for animals and ways the lowest habitat could be improved.

1) The document is an AP Biology course syllabus that covers topics related to evolution and speciation.
2) It discusses different mechanisms of speciation including geographic isolation, ecological isolation, temporal isolation, behavioral isolation, mechanical isolation, and gametic isolation.
3) The syllabus also addresses debates around the rate of speciation, comparing the theories of gradualism and punctuated equilibrium.

Animalia
The document describes key characteristics of Kingdom Animalia. Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms that lack cell walls. They have nervous systems and locomotion to obtain food as heterotrophs. Most animals develop from a zygote into a gastrula with three germ layers - ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm. Animals are also classified based on their body plan, symmetry, development of mouth/anus, and presence of coelom. The major invertebrate phyla include porifera, cnidaria, platyhelminthes, nematoda, mollusca, annelida, echinodermata, arthropoda and their characteristics are described
Animal Behavior: Hippopotamus Behavior Analysis
The document provides an analysis of hippopotamus behavior with a focus on their aggression. It discusses their habitat in rivers and swamps in Africa, diet of grass, and mostly nocturnal feeding patterns. It also examines their communication including loud sounds, and sexual/reproductive behaviors such as mating underwater and mothers caring for calves. A key point is that aggression underlies many of their behaviors from mating to defending territory.
Coendou prehensilis
The Brazilian porcupine, also known as the tree porcupine, is a mid-sized rodent found in tropical and subtropical forests in northern South America and Trinidad and Tobago. It has modified hair that acts as sharp quills for defense and spends most of its time living in trees, using its long tail to hang from branches. The Brazilian porcupine is nocturnal and mostly solitary, though mothers will live with offspring until they are mature. It communicates through grunts, growls, and rattling its quills as warnings and will defend itself aggressively if threatened by curling into a ball and presenting its quills.

Instinct and Learning Behavior
MalaikaNovember 06, 2022
Learning and instinct have been compared throughout history and in folk biology.
While instinct focused on biologically preprogrammed mechanisms that emerge naturally in the absence of special environmental input, learning was meant to emphasise aspects of behavior and cognition that are the result of experience and training.
This distinction relates to those between learned and innate or inherited knowledge.
Instinct and learning behavior in animals
Instinct and learning in their biological setting
When viewed holistically, development's purpose is to help an animal build a repertoire of behaviours that are appropriate for its mode of existence and fit for success.
The stunning alignment of form and function is evident whether we are studying the muscular control of limb movement under negative feedback processes or the nest-building behaviours of birds, whether we are observing young animals or adults.
Animals do occasionally behave awkwardly and make mistakes, especially when placed in unnatural situations, but for the most part, their behaviour is perfectly matched to their way of life.
They find food, shelter, mate, and offspring by responding appropriately to the elements of their environment. How does behaviour develop this almost perfect fit? How is it able to grow so well?
People have been captivated by this query for centuries because we have always been animal observers. Of course, we have less often focused on how their behaviour changes than on their "nature" as beings that critically share the "spark of life" with us.
Even though we may take advantage of or ignore other species' needs in favour of our own, we cannot simply ignore them. This fact has caused some very different attitudes. Animals have occasionally been revered as deities.

How many zoos does Pakistan have? and where?
The Egyptians kept a sacred bull named Apis and frequently depicted their writing god, Thoth, as a hamadryas baboon (Papio hamadryas). On the other hand, the Madagascan aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis), a species of lemur, was hunted until recently because people believed it to be a devil's incarnation (Fig. 2).

Cats and toads were frequently accused of being the "familiars" of women accused of practising witchcraft in Europe. However, St. Francis was known for preaching to animals, referring to them as a part of Creation and perhaps even as having immortal souls.
We can now put superstitions to rest, but there is still much to learn about the sentience of animals, and we will discuss this in more detail later. Most pet owners will undoubtedly give their animal companions some human traits, even if in jest.
At one extreme, we might have animals like Badger, Ratty, Mole, and Toad fro
Ch 5
The document discusses key concepts around niches and interactions between species in an ecosystem. It defines niche as the role and habitat of a species, including biotic and abiotic factors. It explains that species compete for resources if their niches overlap too much. Specialized species have narrow niches and are more vulnerable to extinction from environmental changes. Convergent evolution and coevolution can cause different species to evolve similar traits to fill similar niches or as they interact and exert selection pressures on each other over time.
Classifying life
There are over 2 million known species of organisms that are classified into 6 major kingdoms. The document then provides details about the characteristics of each kingdom, including whether organisms are prokaryotic or eukaryotic, unicellular or multicellular, and how they obtain nutrients. It also discusses the scientific naming of species using binomial nomenclature with the genus and species names.
Quolls
Quolls are small carnivorous marsupials found in Australia. They have pouches like folds of skin on their bellies rather than external pouches. Quolls give birth to tiny babies the size of rice grains that attach to the mother's nipples. Quolls have large litters of up to 30 babies but generally only 6 will survive as the mother only has 6 nipples to feed them.
Variation.......qudratullah
This document discusses biological variation and its role in evolution. It defines variation as differences between individuals of a species. Variation can be continuous, with a range of values, or discontinuous with only a few categories. Variation arises from genetic and environmental factors. Natural selection acts on this variation, favoring adaptations that help organisms survive and reproduce, leading to evolution over time as beneficial traits become more common. The document provides examples of anatomical, physiological and behavioral adaptations.

The document provides information about laboratory mice and rats. It describes their key physical characteristics including small size and high fecundity for mice and larger size for rats. It also outlines their taxonomy, common uses in research, physiological norms and development stages, breeding cycles, housing and identification. Common diseases and euthanasia methods are also mentioned.
C:\Fakepath\Classification Of Animals
This document is a classification of animals by vertebrates and invertebrates. It defines vertebrates as having backbones and lists the five classifications as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Invertebrates do not have backbones and include protozoa, annelids, echinoderms, mollusks, and arthropods. It provides examples such as sharks, poison arrow frogs, crocodiles, hummingbirds, and blue whales to illustrate vertebrate classifications and paramecium, earthworms, starfish, octopuses, and shrimp to illustrate invertebrate classifications.
LAB REPORT DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER
The document describes a genetics experiment using Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies) to study Mendelian inheritance. Students crossed flies with different eye colors (wild type vs scarlet eyes) to study monohybrid crosses. They found a 3:1 ratio of wild type to scarlet eyes in the F2 generation, supporting Mendel's law of segregation. Statistical analysis using a chi-squared test verified the results matched expected Mendelian ratios.
LAB REPORT DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER
The document describes a genetics experiment using Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies) to study Mendelian inheritance. Students conducted three crosses: a monohybrid cross examining eye color, a dihybrid cross examining wing shape and eye color, and a sex-linked cross examining eye color. The monohybrid cross results supported Mendel's law of segregation with a 3:1 ratio of wild type to mutant phenotypes in the F2 generation. Chi square analysis found this result to be statistically significant.
tissue culture hybridization
The document discusses different types of hybridization including single cross, double cross, three-way cross, and triple cross hybrids. It provides examples of hybrid animals like mules, ligers, and wholphins. Plant hybridization is more common than animal hybridization due to differences in pollination and chromosome doubling. The document notes that hybridization can threaten extinction if a population becomes entirely hybridized, and conservationists disagree on how to manage hybrid and pure populations.

About the Topic
Sources Of Genetic Variability
Genetic variations provide the raw material for
evolution
. These variations come from two sources:1.
mutations
that produce different
alleles
, and 2. sexual reproduction, in which alleles from parents segregate and recombine in offspring.
Evolution
Biological evolution involves genetic changes in a group of organisms. These changes occur on two levels:
macroevolution
(the grand scale), and
microevolution
(the small scale). On the "macro" scale of evolution, different species arise, live for a while, and then pass into extinction as new species arise to replace them (over thousands or millions of years). Microevolution involves small-scale changes within a single species. This occurs as populations respond to their own unique circumstances over a period of a few generations. Given enough time, microevolution can lead to macroevolution.
Populations Evolve, Not Individuals
Because an individual's genes are determined at conception, individuals can't evolve. But individuals are part of a
population
that may change over time. Some individuals have
genotypes
that are preferentially suited for survival. These individuals tend to produce more offspring. Thus, a larger proportion of their alleles is passed down to succeeding generations. Over time, the proportion of "good" alleles within the population increases and the "less good" alleles decrease. (
However, note that some traits are neither “good” or “bad”.
Biological Psychology WorksheetAnswer the following questions wi.docx
The document discusses biological psychology and asks 5 questions: 1) The core assumptions are that biology influences behavior. 2) Biological psychology converged from biology, physiology, and psychology. 3) Some early examples included studying brain lesions and the effects on behavior. 4) Modern careers include neuroscience, behavioral genetics, and pharmaceutical development. 5) Biological psychology is generally viewed positively today by other psychologists as a valuable approach.

Cats and toads were frequently accused of being the "familiars" of women accused of practising witchcraft in Europe. However, St. Francis was known for preaching to animals, referring to them as a part of Creation and perhaps even as having immortal souls.
We can now put superstitions to rest, but there is still much to learn about the sentience of animals, and we will discuss this in more detail later. Most pet owners will undoubtedly give their animal companions some human traits, even if in jest.
At one extreme, we might have animals like Badger, Ratty, Mole, and Toad fro
Ch 5
The document discusses key concepts around niches and interactions between species in an ecosystem. It defines niche as the role and habitat of a species, including biotic and abiotic factors. It explains that species compete for resources if their niches overlap too much. Specialized species have narrow niches and are more vulnerable to extinction from environmental changes. Convergent evolution and coevolution can cause different species to evolve similar traits to fill similar niches or as they interact and exert selection pressures on each other over time.
Classifying life
There are over 2 million known species of organisms that are classified into 6 major kingdoms. The document then provides details about the characteristics of each kingdom, including whether organisms are prokaryotic or eukaryotic, unicellular or multicellular, and how they obtain nutrients. It also discusses the scientific naming of species using binomial nomenclature with the genus and species names.
Quolls
Quolls are small carnivorous marsupials found in Australia. They have pouches like folds of skin on their bellies rather than external pouches. Quolls give birth to tiny babies the size of rice grains that attach to the mother's nipples. Quolls have large litters of up to 30 babies but generally only 6 will survive as the mother only has 6 nipples to feed them.
Variation.......qudratullah
This document discusses biological variation and its role in evolution. It defines variation as differences between individuals of a species. Variation can be continuous, with a range of values, or discontinuous with only a few categories. Variation arises from genetic and environmental factors. Natural selection acts on this variation, favoring adaptations that help organisms survive and reproduce, leading to evolution over time as beneficial traits become more common. The document provides examples of anatomical, physiological and behavioral adaptations.
powepoint 313
The document provides information about laboratory mice and rats. It describes their key physical characteristics including small size and high fecundity for mice and larger size for rats. It also outlines their taxonomy, common uses in research, physiological norms and development stages, breeding cycles, housing and identification. Common diseases and euthanasia methods are also mentioned.
C:\Fakepath\Classification Of Animals
This document is a classification of animals by vertebrates and invertebrates. It defines vertebrates as having backbones and lists the five classifications as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Invertebrates do not have backbones and include protozoa, annelids, echinoderms, mollusks, and arthropods. It provides examples such as sharks, poison arrow frogs, crocodiles, hummingbirds, and blue whales to illustrate vertebrate classifications and paramecium, earthworms, starfish, octopuses, and shrimp to illustrate invertebrate classifications.
LAB REPORT DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER
The document describes a genetics experiment using Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies) to study Mendelian inheritance. Students crossed flies with different eye colors (wild type vs scarlet eyes) to study monohybrid crosses. They found a 3:1 ratio of wild type to scarlet eyes in the F2 generation, supporting Mendel's law of segregation. Statistical analysis using a chi-squared test verified the results matched expected Mendelian ratios.
LAB REPORT DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER
The document describes a genetics experiment using Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies) to study Mendelian inheritance. Students conducted three crosses: a monohybrid cross examining eye color, a dihybrid cross examining wing shape and eye color, and a sex-linked cross examining eye color. The monohybrid cross results supported Mendel's law of segregation with a 3:1 ratio of wild type to mutant phenotypes in the F2 generation. Chi square analysis found this result to be statistically significant.
tissue culture hybridization
The document discusses different types of hybridization including single cross, double cross, three-way cross, and triple cross hybrids. It provides examples of hybrid animals like mules, ligers, and wholphins. Plant hybridization is more common than animal hybridization due to differences in pollination and chromosome doubling. The document notes that hybridization can threaten extinction if a population becomes entirely hybridized, and conservationists disagree on how to manage hybrid and pure populations.

About the Topic
Sources Of Genetic Variability
Genetic variations provide the raw material for
evolution
. These variations come from two sources:1.
mutations
that produce different
alleles
, and 2. sexual reproduction, in which alleles from parents segregate and recombine in offspring.
Evolution
Biological evolution involves genetic changes in a group of organisms. These changes occur on two levels:
macroevolution
(the grand scale), and
microevolution
(the small scale). On the "macro" scale of evolution, different species arise, live for a while, and then pass into extinction as new species arise to replace them (over thousands or millions of years). Microevolution involves small-scale changes within a single species. This occurs as populations respond to their own unique circumstances over a period of a few generations. Given enough time, microevolution can lead to macroevolution.
Populations Evolve, Not Individuals
Because an individual's genes are determined at conception, individuals can't evolve. But individuals are part of a
population
that may change over time. Some individuals have
genotypes
that are preferentially suited for survival. These individuals tend to produce more offspring. Thus, a larger proportion of their alleles is passed down to succeeding generations. Over time, the proportion of "good" alleles within the population increases and the "less good" alleles decrease. (
However, note that some traits are neither “good” or “bad”.

Bill of RightsWhen the Constitution was completed in the summer of.docx
Bill of Rights
When the Constitution was completed in the summer of 1787, approval by representatives from nine of the thirteen states was needed for it to become the nation’s law. The issue of individual rights was managed—though this, too, created conflict among the Framers—with the addition of the Bill of Rights. Change was written into the supreme law of the land; since then, legal institutionalization of changes has occurred. Since the Constitution’s adoption, change has taken place through the amendment process identified in the Constitution. Change has also occurred under the direction of the branches of government established in the Constitution: the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary.
Research
The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Review the Bill of Rights in your textbook and select one of the first ten amendments to research more thoroughly. Using the Argosy University online library resources, select at least three peer-reviewed articles about the amendment you have selected. Look specifically for articles that focus on current events or controversies related to the amendment and be prepared to summarize the content of each article.
Annotated Bibliography

Biblical Worldview Essay Instructions
Rationale for the Biblical Worldview Essay
Every person has a worldview whether he realizes it or not. What is a worldview? James W. Sire defines a worldview as:
[A] commitment, a fundamental orientation of the heart, that can be expressed as a story or in a set of presuppositions (assumptions which may be true, partially true or entirely false) that we hold (consciously or subconsciously, consistently or inconsistently) about the basic constitution of reality, and that provides the foundation on which we live and move and have our being.
[1]
Stated more succinctly, "…[A] worldview is simply the total set of beliefs that a person has about the biggest questions in life." F. Leroy Forlines describes such questions as the "inescapable questions of life." Life's inescapable questions include the following: "Is there a God? If so, what is He like? How can I know Him? Who am I? Where am I? How can I tell right from wrong? Is there life after death? What should I and what can I do about guilt? How can I deal with my inner pain?" Life's biggest, inescapable questions relate to whether there is a God, human origins, identity, purpose, and the hereafter, just to mention a few.
Satisfying answers to the "inescapable questions of life" are provided by the Holy Scriptures. The Holy Scriptures, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, form the starting point and foundation for the biblical worldview. More specifically related to our purposes, the apostle Paul reflects several components of the biblical worldview in his letter to the Romans.
The apostle Paul authored Romans toward the end of his third missionary journey, about 57 A.D. He addressed this letter specifically to the Christians in Rome. At the time the church in Rome consisted of Jewish and Gentile believers, with Gentile Christians in the majority. Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome in order to address specific concerns and challenges they were facing. While Romans was an occasional letter (not a systematic theology), Paul presents the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a very systematic fashion. The Gospel is actually the overarching theme of Romans as Paul spells this out in his programmatic statement in 1:16–17. As the systematic presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Romans is foundational to the biblical/Christian worldview.
Recognizing that Romans is not a systematic theology and does not contain all the essential truths that are relevant to a worldview per se, the apostle Paul articulates truths that are foundational to the biblical worldview. In Romans 1–8, Paul addresses certain components of a worldview that relate to the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture.
In a 750–1000-word essay, describe what Romans 1–8 teaches regarding (1)the natural world, (2)human identity,(3) human relationships, and (4) culture. Furthermore, (5)explain how this teaching of these topics affects your worldview. Make sure that you addr.

Even when volunteers come to an organization with a name that is recognized, community connections, and years of professional expertise and experience, they still require an understanding of the background, purpose, and procedures of the specific organization to which they plan to dedicate their time. Volunteer orientation serves this purpose. Volunteer training goes further. Training introduces and teaches the specific skills and expertise needed to carry out the volunteers’ roles.

Communication is of utmost importance in diverse teams. How a manager approaches a situation can determine the future direction of teamwork and ultimately the level of success achieved. When communicating with diverse teams, whether verbally, via e-mail, or in writing, managers need to consider the potential reactions as well as the intention of the message.
and the discussion of possible HR actions. Based on the review, develop a FEW page memo to the project teams addressing the following:
Remind both managers and employees of the benefits of a culturally diverse workgroup.
Make recommendations on how to avoid scheduling issues due to the religious observance.
Explain how you arrived at your decision using relevant academic references.
Justify your suggestions by using empirical evidence and reference to any applicable laws.

*Explain what motivation is and why managers need to be concerned about it.
*Explain what leadership is, when leaders are effective and ineffective, and the sources of power that enable managers to be effective leaders.
*Explain how different elements of group dynamics influence the functioning and effectiveness of groups and teams.
*Explain why strategic human resource management can help an organization gain a competitive advantage.
Below is all of these questions answered by different classmates in my class. Please use their answers as a base to formulate your own...
Motivation is the psychological forces that determine the direction of a person’s behavior in an organization, a person level of effort and a person level of persistence in the face of obstacles. Managers should be concerned with motivation because it explains why people behave the way they do. It can explain why a waiter is mean or nice, or why the customer service representative you are dealing with is helpful and understanding or rude and unhelpful.
Leadership is the process by which a person exerts influence over other people and inspires, motivates, and directs their activities, to help achieve group or organizational goal. Leaders are affective when they can unite a group to achieve a common goal. There are five types of power that a leader must balance. Legitimate power: the authority that a manager has by virtue of their position in an organizations hierarch. Reward power: the ability of a manager to give or withhold tangible and intangible rewards. Coercive power: the ability of a manager to punish others. Expert power: power that is based on the special knowledge, skills, and expertise that a leader possesses. Referent power: power that comes from subordinates’ and coworkers’ respect, admiration, and loyalty.
There are five key elements of group dynamics. Group size: the number of members in a group can be an important determinant of members’ motivation, commitment and group performance. Group roles: a set of behaviors and task that a member of a group is expected to perform because of his or her position in the group. Group leadership: leadership is a key ingredient for high- performing groups, teams, and organizations. Group development over time: it sometimes takes a self-managed team two or three years to perform up to it true capabilities. Group norms: shared guidelines or rules for behavior that most group member follow. Group cohesivenes.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Basselopes and Reproductive Barriers Between SpeciesReview this .docx
- 1. Basselopes and Reproductive Barriers Between Species Review this information on an invented comic animal, then follow the assignment instructions at the bottom. Basselopes were created by Berkeley Breathed in his Bloom County Comic Strip. Berkeley Breathed wrote an entire book devoted to the basselope entitled The Last Basselope: One Ferocious Story . A basselope is part Basset Hound and part Antelope. They are very rare. Rumor has them to be vicious and unpredictable creatures when in fact they are very docile, peaceful animals. See attached mug shots of the last basselope named Rosebud. Your assignment is to discuss/describe the pre-zygotic and post- zygotic reproductive barriers that are present that may or may not impede the mating of a Basset Hound and an Antelope. The following information is provided to help support or disclaim your arguments as to the ability of a Basset Hound and Antelope to produce viable, fertile offspring. Basset Hound (Dog) Antelope (Pronghorn) # of chromosomes 78 chromosomes or 39 pairs of homologous chromosomes 58 chromosomes or 29 pairs of homologous chromosomes Breeding season Twice a year, one of which could be from Aug to Oct. Last week in August to first week of October
- 2. Gestation Period (Length of pregnancy) 63 days 7 – 7 ½ months # of babies per pregnancy 7 -10 average 2 Age of sexual maturity 6 – 12 months 1 year Dietary habits Omnivores – eat almost anything Vegetarians – eat shrubs, forbs, grass, flowers (like daisies), and fruit Similar Habits Curious Disinclination to jump over fences and other objects – prefer to crawl under or between obstacles Eat constantly Curious Disinclination to jump over fences and other objects – prefer to crawl under or between obstacles Eat constantly Different Habits Sedate, though can track for hours (running speed about 2 miles/hour for SHORT bursts) Primarily use sense of smell Prefer to be next to range/stove Thrive on human attention Swift runners (run at just under 70 KM/ hour) Primarily use sense of sight Prefer open range Prefer little human contact
- 3. In a separate document, describe in narrative form the barriers that exist between the two species. Discuss both pre-zygotic and post-zygotic barriers. You might also address how it is possible that these species mated and produced a viable offspring at all.
