4- Explain why water dissolves so many different substances- A- Water.docxLucasmNcAbrahama
4. Explain why water dissolves so many different substances. A. Water dissolves so many different substances because of its ability to be present in a liquid, gas and solid state. Water is able to dissolve so many substances because of its high surface tension and high specific heat properties and is part of just about every living organism and can be found everywhere on the planet. B. Water dissolves so many different substances because of the partial charges on the water molecule caused by the polar covalent bonds. Electrons are shared unequally. by the hydrogen and oxygen atoms. This causes a partial negative charge on the oxygen end and a partial positive charge on the hydrogen end of the water molecule. Water dissolves substances by binding to the positive and negative ends of other compounds pulling them apart. Any substance that is formed by polar bonds or ionic bonds can dissolve in water. Non-polar molecules do not have a net electrical charge and cannot be dissolved in water. C. Water can dissolve many different substances because of its polarity. That's why water is considered the unversal solvent.

4- Adaptation sometimes occurs in the following fashion- an environmen.docxLucasmNcAbrahama
4. Adaptation sometimes occurs in the following fashion: an environment changes, then a new mutation that produces some fitness-promoting effect arises, and then it sweeps to fixation. But most often adaptation starts from "standing genetic variation" - that is, from asllelic variants that are already present in populations at somewhat low frequency. These standing variants are just drifting about neutrally in frequency before the environment changes, and then, once the environment changes, selection favors of one of the formerly neutral variants. Given that standing genetic variation may be important for adaptation to a changing environment, why might we worry that urbanization has reduced populations' ability to adapt? If the genetic variation is already low before the environment changes, then there may be little standing genetic variation available to respond to the new selection pressures, leaving the population with few options for adaptation. 5. Mutation rates in urban settings are often higher because of pollution. These elevated mutation rates probably haven't shaped the evolutionary change of many urban populations just yet - cities simply haven't been around long enough for that to take effect-but if we let ourselves suppose that cities (and therefore scientists!) will persist over the next few hundred thousand or million years, we can then consider the long-term consequences of elevated mutation rates for urban organisms. If we suppose that a pair of urban and rural bird populations, say, come to be good species and then remain at their current population size over evolutionary time, do you expect equal rates of neutral evolution in the two species? Elevated mutation rates can increase the rate of neutral evolution because they introduce more genetic variation into a population, increasing the chances that new neutral mutations will arise and become fixed. Population size is decreased in urbanization so genetic drift has a higher effect fixing neutral mutations that could otherwise be advantageous in the occurrence of a change in the environment.

Hint - Susie is in Generation IV. b. Explain the likely inheritance pattern for each disease/abnormal condition. c. What percentage of Susie's eggs (gametes) will carry the allele that allows normal processing of phenylalanine and the allele that causes colorblindness? Show your work!

4. (a). Implement a function with signature transfer(S, T) that transfers all elements from stack S onto stack T, so that the element that starts at the top of S is the first to be inserted onto T , and the element at the bottom of S ends up at the top of T . (b). Show how to use the transfer function, described in (a), and two temporary stacks, to replace the contents of a given stack S with those same elements, but in reversed order.

4. (20 points) Manipulate the program assembly code so that it it implements and prints out the return value of this function:
int nested_loop_test(int n){
int rv = 1;
for(int i = 1; i < n;i*=2)
for(int j = i; j >=0; j--)
if(j % 2 == 0)
rv += (i + j);
else
rv += (2*i-3*j);
return rv;
}
Here is the Program to Manipulate:

4) In the pea, the smooth-seeded character is dominant over the wrinkled-seeded character. What will the offspring of a pea be like? Crossing between pure breeds of plants with tall stems and smooth seeds with plants with dwarf stems and wrinkled seeds? what will be the genotype and phenotype of the plants that result from the fertilization of the offspring of the previous cross? T = tall stem, t = dwarf stem, A = smooth seed and a = wrinkled seed
