A ) Explain how geography, mass extinctions and adaptive radiation help explain the diversity of living organisms. B) Explain how changes in development can explain the evolution of new life forms. Using the information you presented about geography, mass extinction, adaptive radiation and embryonic development, from the previous two questions, explain how living organisms evolve. A) Explain what do phylogenies represent. B) If two species look similar, can you assume they are closely related? Explain why. C) Describe one practical application of studying phylogenies? When comparing birds and bats they both have wings, A) can we use the presence of wings as an indicator of phylogenetic relationship? Explain B) What do we call a trait like wings present in bats and birds (synapomorphy (shared derived trait), symplesiomorphy (shared ancestral trait), homoplasy)? Explain. Birds, bats and humans all have a vertebral column. A) If you group birds, bats and humans in one clade and leave out other apes and mammals, what type of group would they form (monophyletic, paraphyletic, polyphyletic)? Explain B) What do we call a trait like presence of vertebral column within bats, birds and humans (synapomorphy (shared derived trait), symplesiomorphy (shared ancestral trait), homoplasy)? Explain. C) What other organisms would you have to include in this clade in order to have a monophyletic group? A) Viruses can create mutations in bacteria, and in humans some viruses are linked to cancer. Explain whether the lytic or the lysogenic cycles is more likely to have these sides effects on the host.

Species are groups of actually or potentially interbreeding populations which are reproductively isolated from other such groups. The biological species concept has been prevalent in the evolutionary literature for the last several decades and is emphasized in many college-level biology courses. It is probably the species concept most familiar to biologists in diverse fields, such as conservation biology, forestry, fisheries, and wildlife management. Species defined by the biological species concept have also been championed as units of conservation. The species concept for most phycologists is based on the morphological characters and hence the term ‘species’ means morphospecies. On the other hand, for evolutionary biologists, the term means biological species that can be defined as a reproductive community of populations (reproductively isolated from others) that occupy a specific niche in Nature.

From Figure 26 what is true of Dryopithecus and Ouranopithecus? 1.) They were great apes. 2.) They shared a common ancestor more recently with the orangutans than with the other great apes. 3.) They appear to be part of a polytomy. 4.) Their closest common ancestor with all of the extant great apes is the one they share with the orangutans. 5.) They were about as different from each other genetically as humans are different from chimps. A. 1, 2, and 4 B. 1, 3, and 4 C. 1, 2, 3, and 4 D. 2, 3, 4, and 5 Which of these can be properly inferred from the phylogeny in Figure 26-5? A. Chimps and humans evolved from gorillas. B. The lesser apes are genetically more distinct from each other than the members of the great apes are each other. C. Orangutans have existed for about 14 million years. D. Together, the lesser apes and great apes form a clade. Assuming chimps and gorillas are closest relatives to humans, removing humans from the great ape clade and placing them in a different clade has the effect of making the phylogenetic tree of the great apes A) polyphyletic. B) paraphyletic. C) monophyletic. D) aphyletic Solution they share 4.1 .they are not great apes.2 is definitely true, they share a common ancestor more recently with the orangutans than the other apes.3. We can see 2 branch of dryopithecus & ouranopothecus rising from same point. So they are a part of polytomy 4 is also true their closest common ancestor with all of the extant great apes is the one they share with orangutan. 5. Is true they are obviously genetically different as we see they are part of different branches. So , last option is right I.e. 2,3,4,5 are correct 5. It is clearly shown that orangutans existed for 14 million years. 6..

What is the name of the phenomenon it illustrates? What evidence does the phenomenon give about evolution? Solution 1. a.Aminoacids : The 20 aminoacids are same in all cellular orgainsms. b.Forelimbs c.Stream lined body of sharks and whales, wings of birds and insects. d.The gulono--lactone oxidase (GLO) pseudogene. e.Coccyx is present in humans and great apes as fused bone but is not present in monkeys as they have tails. 2.Ambiguity of species boundaries means there is always a confusion as to which organisms can be grouped into species; wheather sexually reproducing organisms and asexually reproducing organisms.What boundaries should exist so as to group organisms into species has always been ambiguous.No such species boundaries were set earlier.Darwin used it as a part of his argument for common ancestor because according to him god had created the species and this was known as Creationism and he emphasized on the process of natural selection to be an active process that led to evolution from common ancestor. 3.The phenomenon that the diagram illustrates is homology.Homology in embryo is known as ontogenetic homology and means that two or more species share same embryological similarities and it gives an evidence that all the three embryos of species have a common ancestor but in process of time have undergone remodelling of body parts through natural selection..

Ecological Applications 6:506–519. http://academic.uprm.edu/~jchinea/cursos/comunidades/refs/blair1996.pdf Questions 1. The author predicts that different bird species will respond differently to urbanization. What are the three response groups the author expects to find and how is each predicted to respond to urbanization? 2. Although not explicitly stated in the text, the author compared bird densities among sites using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Describe the experimental design of the ANOVA: what were the response and predictor variables, and treatment levels? Explain how the author used replication in both space and time. 3. The author presents data on bird densities within sites in both Table 1 and Figure 3. Which presentation do you find more interpretable and why? What information is common to both, what is unique to either one or the other? Could you limit the redundancy of these two presentations by combining them into one table or figure? If so, which would you choose and how would you lay it out? 4. The golf course had the highest bird species richness, density, and biomass (when Rock Doves were excluded from the analysis), and the second highest diversity (Figure 4). Summarize the author’s explanation for this result. 5. Based on the study results, briefly argue the pros and cons of golf courses as they relate to bird diversity and abundance. Solution 1: The author predicts three groups of birds which he called as urban exploiters, urban avoiders and suburban adaptable. The urban exploiters are expected to get adapted to the changes and to reach their highest densities at the developed sites. The urban avoiders are expected to respond in a sensitive way to the anthropogenic changes in their habitat and are expected to have their maximum densities at the natural sites only. The suburban adaptables are expected to exploit some additional available resources leading to their moderate development..

According to the textbook, the Federal Disaster Assistance Act of 1950 (P.L. 81-875) defined the roles and responsibilities during natural disasters. Once the president issued a disaster declaration, federal relief resources could flow to the affected areas for response and recovery. The president would then delegate administrative control of relief efforts to the Housing and Home Finance Administration. This law also instituted the federal role in natural disasters as a supportive role, while instituting primary responsibility for disaster response and recovery with local and state governments. How had this changed by 1978? Why did it change? Do you agree with the change? Why, or why not? 300 WORDS APA FORMAT .

According to the text, economic outcomes measured by economic growth is affected by a number of factors. Also, hundreds of empirical studies on economic growth across countries have highlighted the correlation between economic growth and a variety of variables. Claims regarding the determinants of economic growth are conditional, and the findings depend on the variables used. However, the availability of physical capital or infrastructure, government consumption, terms of trade, macroeconomic stability, the rule of law, regulatory quality, government effectiveness, foreign direct investments, population size, and natural resource availability are the most consistent findings of empirical studies on economic growth. Review the literature on economic growth and provide a summary of how: Population affects economic growth Natural Resource Abundance affects economic growth Note: The answers you provide to each of these sub-questions should not be more than 15 sentences. Also note that because this is a literature review you must cite credible sources; avoid using news articles. The examples below should serve as a guide Example 1: The example below shows how inflation affects investment in a study of the effect of inflation on investment. The destabilizing effect of inflation on investment has been a major source of debate in economic and business literature. Generally, inflation is often considered a sign of macroeconomic instability and the inability of government to control macroeconomic policy, both of which contribute to an adverse investment climate (Fischer, 2013; Greene & Villanueva, 1991). However, the empirical evidence is still far from convincing. While some authors claim positive effects of inflation on investment, others hold that inflation poses a “stealth” threat to investments. For example, Greene and Villanueva (1991) argue that high rate of inflation adversely affects private investment activity by increasing the riskiness of long-term investment projects. Also, Fischer (2013) observed that inflation uncertainty is associated with substantial reduction in total investment. On the contrary, McClain and Nicholes (1993) found that investment and inflation are positively related to each other. Example 2: The example below shows how natural resource endowments affects income inequality in a study of the determinants of income inequality. The nexus between natural resource endowments and income inequality has also been widely debated and has inspired a long history of research in both economics and political science (see, for example, Fum and Hodler, 2010; Goderis and Malone, 2011; Leamer, Maul, Rodriguez, and Schott, 1999; Carmignani, 2013; Parcero and Papyrakis, 2016; Bourguignon and Morrisson, 1998). For example, Anderson et al., (2004) argue that natural resources endowment provide a plausible explanation as to why the observed levels of inequality are significantly higher in both sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America.

According to the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), part of being a well-prepared special educator includes “developing relationships with families based on mutual respect and actively involving families and individuals with exceptionalities in educational decision making” (Council for Exceptional Children, 2015, Special Education Professional Ethical Principles, E). This includes advocating for parental involvement by providing information on educational rights and safeguards in a way that creates accessibility and transparent IEP meeting procedures (Council for Exceptional Children, 2015). Hammond, Ingalls and Trussell (2008) investigated the experiences of those family members who attended an initial IEP meeting and then subsequent meetings over the next four years. Their findings indicated that the overwhelming majority of the 212 family participants agreed that the child needed special education services but had negative emotional responses to the initial team meeting. Some of the most beneficial information collected included acknowledging the emotions tied to having a child initial diagnosed with a disability; stronger communication skills by education professionals during the team meeting; and additional measures to better prepare parents for the team meetings (Hammond, Ingalls, & Trussell, 2008). Similarly, the article, Building Parent Trust in the Special Education Setting (Links to an external site.) (Wellner, 2012) was written to emphasize the importance of trust building strategies to avoid costly due process hearings and to maximize relationships with all involved in making decisions on behalf of the student with special needs. Initial Post: After reading the article, After reading the article, The 5-Point Plan , reviewing the Council for Exceptional Children’s (CEC) , reviewing the Council for Exceptional Children’s (CEC) Special Education and Professional Ethical Principles and Practice Standards (Links to an external site.) , and reading Building Parent Trust in the Special Education Setting (Links to an external site.) you will create an initial response depending on the first letter of your last name. If your last name begins with the letters A – M: You will respond as one of the parent participants in this the Hammond, Ingalls and Trussell study. Begin by explaining how you felt attending your child’s first IEP meeting, using the article and the Instructor Guidance as a foundation for your narrative. Then, describe how future IEP meeting experiences changed (improved or declined) and why. Finally, using the CEC Professional Practice Standards for Parents and Families (Links to an external site.) and Building Parent Trust in the Special Education Setting (Links to an external site.) , provide at least three suggestions to the special education team leader for how to improve this experience for parents of newly diagnosed children with disabilities. .

Methods of Examining the Problem Both qualitative and quantitative research methods should be used to fully understand the issue of high cost of care in the US. Quantitative methods like surveys and experimentations will aid in estimating the prevalence, magnitude and frequency of the problem in different regions. On the other hand, qualitative methods like case studies and observation will help describe the extent and complexity of the issue. The two approaches need to work in complementation to obtain a clear understanding of this menace. Surveys, as a quantitative research method, is one of the most effective in the social research and present a more viable method of examining the cost of health in the country. They involve asking of questions in the form of questionnaires and interviews. Questionnaires are written questions to which the response can be open ended or multiple-choice format. This would be used to gain information about cost within determinants that are of disagree/neutral/agree nature. An example is if patients are contented with the cost of services they get or they deem the cost of cover worthy. Interviews, the researcher discussing issues with the respondents, are to be used to gain more details on already known aspects of the system. This may include gathering information to inform policies, administration and use of technology to minimize the cost of care. Since health cost in the US is not a new challenge and there have been studies about it, qualitative methods like .

According to the author, Social Security is an essential program, but its future is looking unpromising unless we start by eliminating the payroll tax cap. In the author’s proposal to keep the funding open, the author proposes the acceptance of Bernie Sanders’ “Keeping Our Social Security Promises Act,” which the author suggests would removes the payroll tax cap. To elaborate further, the author stated that the reason for the cap on the social security is because of the uneven amount of participation during elections which makes the rich influential in governance. The author stated that, research have found that the rich who made over $125,000 contributed 35% in campaigns. According to the author, this act causes a major problem regarding the shaping of the social security because people with lower income would not be able to contribute that amount of money towards campaigns. The author also states that it causes greater income equality, since those who contribute are rich and as a matter of fact get more benefits from political power in the form of payroll tax cap. This in the authors words, compromises the state of social welfare in the United States because those active in politics don’t have the same views as the poor who are focused on housing, poverty, and health. Congressional Research Service was used to predicts that, if tax cap is not removed, there will be a permanent increase of tax rate from 12.4% to 15.1% which would hurt people making less than the current tax cap currently at $132,900 or, cutting benefits by 20% in 2035 and continuously rising every year. In as much as the author makes a good point on the percentage of rich people that donated to campaign, the author failed to state how much the rich get in payroll tax cap since that is a major part of the authors argument. The authors failed to indicate how an increase in tax rate would affect people making less than the current tax cap which is $132,900. To sum it up, the author failed to expand and give more numeric evidence to support the argument. In addition, to provide a guideline in eliminating payroll tax cap, the author suggested a bill introduced by Bernie Sanders called, Keeping Our Social Security Promises Act. The bill according to the author seeks to remove the cap placed on payroll taxes. The author further stated the bill will help Solvency to expand for 75 years without increasing taxes for those who earn less than $250,000, the only people who will see a change are those earn more than $250,000. According to the Congressional Research Service as stated by the author, removing the cap would eliminate 84% of the projected shortfall. The author stated that, the top 200 CEOs would have to contributed $341,291,106 towards Social Security when the tax cap is removed. In addition, the author stated that, removing the cap would eliminate 84% of the projected shortfall. The author proposes an increase in the taxable payroll from 12.40% to 12.83% to keep it solvent.
