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”.

Biodiversity hotspots are one conservation strategy used to direct funds to areas in the globe that have the highest biodiversity and are most threatened. To qualify as a biodiversity hotspot an area must have more than 1,500 endemic plant species (0.5% of the world's total of 300,000) AND have experienced a 70% loss of habitat. 1) Each person will select a biodiversity hotspot (sign list in class) and use the Conservation Internationl Biodiversity Hotspots website as a key starting resource to find the following information to bring into class to write on the board and share orally. USE THE WEBSITES POSTED UNDER ASSIGNMENTS/CH 1&2/HOTSPOTS to get started : a) Overview : Vital Signs Table: Total Endemic Plants, Human Population Density ( can copy and paste the table, but you must use an in-text citation ) b) Species : Diversity and Endemism Table: Total Endemic Species for Plants, Mammals, Birds, Reptile, Amphibian and Fish ( copy and paste the table, but you must use an in-text citation) c) Threats : List top three threats with evidence of why and how they impact the hotspot d) Projects : What will take you the most time to find and evaluate is specific information about conservation actions in the hotspot region. You will want to include who (government, nonprofit, international agency) is doing what (fence, antipoaching squad, protected area, farming project) at what cost (dollars) with what measure of success (#species saved over time, increase population size over time, area protected increased, % invasives reduced) and then analyze if this is what is needed based on the human impact and biodiversity loss data you have collected. 2) Your research results with in-text citations AND your list of at least 10 scientific references using APA. You must physically have in your property and have read every source you cite. REMEMBER YOU ARE SUMMARIZING KEY FACTS IN YOUR OWN WORDS . .

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 Prepare an annotated bibliography of your research. Please read Annotated Bibliography.pdf for an overview on annotated bibiographies. Click here for an example of what an annotated bibliography looks like. Include the following: For each article, write details such as the article title, author name, journal title, and publication date. Write a summary of each article in 200–250 words. Write the conclusions you have drawn from research and your opinion in 1–2 paragraphs. Write a reference list of the selected articles in APA style. Write a 2–3-page annotated bibliography in Word format. Apply APA standards for writing style to your work. .

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.

If you could please do the same and make my discussion question answers touch every important detail that my fellow students have also touched on. Please make my disscussion answers original not following the same answering format as my fellow students. I dont want my teacher to know that All I do is take bits and pieces of others post to create my own *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.
