Genes that regulate development are highly conserved. This means that they have been lost in some lineages. they have changed very little over the course of evolution. large differences have evolved among multicellular organisms. they are always turned on. they have undergone mutation. Which change would most likely result in snakes developing rudimentary hindlimbs? Loss of expression of Ubx in the appropriate location Loss of expression of Sonic hedgehog in the appropriate location Gain of expression of Sonic hedgehog in the appropriate location Gain of expression of Distalless in the appropriate location Loss of expression of Distalless in the appropriate location Which species concept can be used when describing organisms that reproduce asexually? The daughter species concept The lineage species concept The morphological species concept The biological species concept The reproductive isolation concept Solution 1. b Conserved genes change very less during the course of evolution. Any mutation in the devolepmental genes will not result in a fertile/ viable offspring therefore these mutations cannot be propagated. 2. b Loss of expression of Sonic hedgehog gene in the appropriate location. Upstream region of Sonic hedgehog genes in snakes contain enhancer elements. Deletion mutations in three regions of these enhancer genes resulted in the loss of activator binding sites to the genes. Since activators to the sonic hedgehog genes can not bind to the gene, it is only feebly transcribed for a very less amount of time ( <24hr, The expression lasts for weeks in lizards, their close ancestors which devolep limbs) 3. b The lineage species concept. Lineage species concept is like a pedigree, marking all the descendents as a lineage. The divergences w.r.t. a common ancestor can be marked based on the family tree. It fits asexual reproduction because a lineage doesn\'t necessarily have to be sexually compatible pairs as defined in biological speciation..

SYMPATRIC SPECIATION.pptx
This document discusses sympatric speciation, which is the evolution of reproductive isolation between populations of the same species living in the same geographic area. It provides examples of sympatric speciation occurring in apple maggot flies, bacteria, Midas cichlid fish, and orca whales. Polyploidy, a process where organisms contain more than two sets of chromosomes, is also discussed as a mechanism for instant sympatric speciation, especially in plants. The document outlines criteria for determining if speciation occurred sympatrically and mechanisms that can drive the process, such as changes in habitat or food preference.
Neodarwinism or synthetic theory of evolution
Neo-Darwinism is a modified version of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. It incorporates genetic variation as the raw material for evolution. Genetic variation arises from sources like mutations, recombination, and chromosomal changes. Natural selection leads to differential reproduction of adaptive variants, increasing their frequency over generations. Reproductive isolation maintains distinctiveness between species. According to Neo-Darwinism, evolution occurs through the appearance of genetic variation, its spread through populations by natural selection, and reproductive isolation leading to speciation.

Inversions
Inversions involve breaks in a chromosome where a segment rotates 180 degrees and rejoins at the breakpoints. There are two main types of inversions - single and complex. A single inversion involves one inverted segment, which can be paracentric where breaks are in the same arm, or pericentric where breaks are in different arms and may include the centromere. Complex inversions have more than one inverted segment. Inversions can affect fertility through unbalanced gametes, cause recessive mutations, and influence gene expression through position effects. They may also play a role in evolution by allowing populations to diverge.

A Review on Genetic Dominant Disorder-Polydactyly
Polydactyly is genetic disorder in which there is mutation of gene that is located on short arm of chromosome 7. One gene that can cause polydactyly is GLI3 and it is one among number of genes that are known to be involved in the patterning of tissues and organs during development of the embryo. Mutations of GLI3 gene during development will cause two types of polydactyly. Those are postaxial ulnar and preaxial radial polydactyly. The treatment plan is based on the outcome of analysis of patients medical history, social history, motivation, social and psychological disturbance. Akshata. B.

D2 species and speciation
The document discusses speciation and the formation of new species. It defines key terms like allele frequency, gene pool, and reproductive isolation. It describes several mechanisms by which reproductive barriers can form between populations, including geographic, temporal, and behavioral isolation. Speciation occurs when genetic changes result in lineages that can no longer successfully interbreed. The document provides examples of allopatric speciation driven by geographic isolation, as well as pre- and post-zygotic barriers that reduce gene flow and lead to speciation.
Gene pool
The gene pool refers to the total collection of genes and genetic variants within an interbreeding population. It can change over time through mechanisms like mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift in response to environmental pressures. Larger, more diverse gene pools may help populations better adapt to changing conditions, while smaller pools with less variation could hinder adaptation. Genetic variation within a population is measured by the number and frequencies of different gene alleles present.
special chromosomes
Polytene chromosomes are giant chromosomes found in certain insect larvae that contain thousands of tightly packed DNA strands. They appear banded when viewed under a microscope due to variations in chromatin coiling. Specific gene activation causes localized unwinding regions called "puffs" where RNA transcription occurs. Lampbrush chromosomes are very large chromosomes found in the oocyte nuclei of some vertebrates. They have lateral loops containing RNA arising from chromomeres during meiosis. B chromosomes are supernumerary chromosomes that are not genetically required but are found in some species in variable numbers with more heterochromatin.
Genetics
This document provides information about genetics and Mendelian inheritance. It begins with an introduction to important figures in the history of genetics like Gregor Mendel. It then discusses the three main theories of inheritance pre-Mendel and the history of genetics including Mendel's experiments and laws of inheritance. The rest of the document details various genetics concepts like linkage, crossing over, aneuploidy and their relationships to chromosomes and inheritance patterns.
Models Of Speciation
The document discusses several modes of speciation including allopatric, peripatric, parapatric, sympatric, and hybrid speciation. It provides examples for each mode, such as fruit flies speciating through peripatric isolation on a new island. Additionally, it covers related topics like macroevolution occurring over long time periods, radiometric dating techniques used to determine geological timescales, and examples of cospeciation between species.
Speciation 12345697741584268412655225.ppt
1) Speciation is the evolutionary process by which new biological species arise. A species is defined as a group that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
2) New species originate through reproductive isolation caused by pre-zygotic barriers like geographic isolation, behavioral differences, or post-zygotic barriers where hybrids have reduced viability or fertility.
3) Speciation can occur gradually over long periods of time through accumulation of small differences or through punctuated equilibrium with periods of rapid change followed by stasis.
Species concept
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.
Modern Biology Chapter 16 (JOSHUA)
This document provides an overview of speciation and the formation of new species. It discusses genetic equilibrium in populations and the factors that can disrupt it, such as mutation, migration, genetic drift and natural selection. When isolated populations experience disruptions to genetic equilibrium over long periods of time, reproductive barriers can form, leading to the emergence of new species. The document outlines various mechanisms of speciation, including geographic isolation of populations, and provides examples of speciation observed in Darwin's finches on the Galapagos Islands.
Evolution of genetic variance-covariance structuer in animal.pptx
This document provides an overview of evolutionary morph metrics and the evolution of genetic variance and covariance structure in animals. It discusses key concepts in evolution like Lamarckism, Darwin's theory of natural selection, patterns of natural selection, and levels of evolution from microevolution to macroevolution. It also defines morph metrics as quantitative measurements and analysis of morphological traits used to study biological shape variation. Finally, it examines how the genetic variance-covariance matrix (G-matrix) evolves over time through processes like mutation, migration, selection, and drift, and how this impacts evolutionary responses to selection.
Glossary Patterns Of Evolution Colour Ans
This glossary defines important terms related to patterns of evolution. It includes definitions for over 40 key concepts such as adaptive feature, adaptive radiation, allopatric speciation, convergent evolution, genetic drift, macroevolution, microevolution, natural selection, polyploidy, reproductive isolation, species, and stabilizing selection. The glossary provides concise explanations of these fundamental evolutionary concepts.
Speciation prezygotic and postzygotic
This document discusses several topics related to speciation and the evolution of new species:
1. It defines speciation as the development of a new species and examines different species concepts, barriers to reproduction between species, and modes of speciation such as allopatric and sympatric speciation.
2. It explores mechanisms that can lead to reproductive isolation between populations like prezygotic barriers like habitat isolation and postzygotic barriers like hybrid sterility.
3. It discusses examples of allopatric speciation driven by geographic barriers and sympatric speciation driven by mechanisms like polyploidy, habitat differentiation, and sexual selection.
Crossing over: Impossible to Possible
This presentation will offer a bird's eye view of the most interesting episode of biology i.e crossing over and its principles and related issues.
Microevolution
This document discusses microevolution and the processes that cause evolution at the population level, including mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, non-random mating, and natural selection. It provides examples of each, such as Darwin's finches to illustrate natural selection and cheetahs to demonstrate the bottleneck effect of genetic drift. The document seeks to explain how populations evolve over time through changes in allele frequencies from these various evolutionary forces.
Biological Science Chapter 5
This chapter discusses evolution and gene frequencies in populations. A population is a group of individuals of the same species that occupy an area and share genes. The gene pool is the sum of all alleles in a population. Factors like genetic drift, founder effects, bottlenecks, and mutations can influence gene frequencies over time independent of natural selection. The Hardy-Weinberg theorem states that allele frequencies remain stable between generations under certain conditions. Natural selection can operate through directional, disruptive, or stabilizing selection and influence evolution. Speciation occurs when reproductive isolation develops between populations.
Glossary Patterns Of Evolution4 Lois
This document defines and explains various key terms related to evolution and speciation. It includes definitions of adaptive features, adaptive radiation, allele frequency, allopatric speciation, analogous organs, convergent evolution, demes, directional selection, disruptive selection, divergent evolution, genetic drift, genotype, isolating mechanisms, macroevolution, microevolution, natural selection, niche differentiation, polyploidy, populations, reproductive isolation, stabilizing selection, and vestigial organs. The terms cover concepts like adaptation, speciation mechanisms, population genetics, selection pressures, and evolutionary processes.
Evolution
The document discusses Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. It summarizes Darwin's observations, including variation among species in the Galapagos Islands. This led Darwin to propose that natural selection acts on heritable variations, so that individuals with favorable traits are more likely to survive and pass on those traits, gradually changing the species over many generations to be better adapted to their environment. The document also discusses evidence that has accumulated in support of evolution, such as fossils, biogeography, anatomy, and molecular biology.
3047 e2
The document defines a gene pool as the collection of all genes in a population. It discusses how a large gene pool indicates greater genetic diversity and robustness, while a small pool risks reduced fitness and extinction. The document also describes gene pools in crop breeding, noting primary and secondary gene pools, and gives gene pool centres as areas where important crops originated.
مشروووووع الوراثه
This document discusses several key concepts in population genetics:
1) Genetic variation is important for adaptation, environmental change, conservation, and divergence of populations. Variation allows populations to survive over time while lack of variation leads to extinction.
2) Population genetics studies genetic structure, allele frequencies, and how they change over time due to evolutionary processes like mutation, genetic drift, natural selection, and gene flow.
3) The Hardy-Weinberg principle describes how allele and genotype frequencies remain stable without these evolutionary forces acting on a population.
Population genetics with qs
Population genetics is the study of genetic variation within populations. A population's gene pool contains all the alleles of all individuals. Under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, allele frequencies remain constant between generations if there is no mutation, migration, genetic drift, or natural selection. Five agents cause evolution: mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, nonrandom mating, and natural selection, which is the only mechanism that leads to adaptation. Natural selection maintains genetic variation and can preserve polymorphisms through mechanisms like heterozygote advantage.
Population genetics with qs
Population genetics is the study of genetic variation within populations. A population shares a gene pool containing all alleles of individuals. Different species that interbreed often produce sterile offspring. Microevolution occurs through changes in a population's gene pool over time due to processes like natural selection and genetic drift. The modern synthesis theory recognizes that genes are responsible for inheritance and that populations, not individuals, evolve through natural selection and genetic drift.

All programming assignments should include the name, or names, of the
students. This information should be placed in the introductory comments
section. The introductory comments should also contain the purpose of the
program. Clear, concise, commenting is an important skill to develop and
will be part of the grade for each program. Programs should be submitted
via Blackboard as “.cpp” source programs. Each member of a team should
submit a copy of the program.
The purpose of PSA 7 is practice our programming style and techniques on
a fairly simple real world example of an application. PSA7.cpp is a program
that analyzes various aspects of the clients at an animal shelter. Your task
is to fill in the three routines that provide the necessary information to the
main routine. You may not alter the code in main. You must use the
interfaces as defined.
The first two routines are almost trivial and the only thing that is special
about one of them is the need to use a persistent variable.
The third one, shotRecord is a bit challenging. You must determine if each
animal has had the correct shots. These are for Parvovirus, Rabies, and
Bordetella. One confusion factor here is that they could have also received
a shot for Leptospirosis; that is not a required shot. Further complicating
things is the fact that the only thing that is important is that they received
the shot; they may have received their inoculations in differing orders.

#include

This document discusses several key concepts in population genetics:
1) Genetic variation is important for adaptation, environmental change, conservation, and divergence of populations. Variation allows populations to survive over time while lack of variation leads to extinction.
2) Population genetics studies genetic structure, allele frequencies, and how they change over time due to evolutionary processes like mutation, genetic drift, natural selection, and gene flow.
3) The Hardy-Weinberg principle describes how allele and genotype frequencies remain stable without these evolutionary forces acting on a population.
Population genetics with qs
Population genetics is the study of genetic variation within populations. A population's gene pool contains all the alleles of all individuals. Under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, allele frequencies remain constant between generations if there is no mutation, migration, genetic drift, or natural selection. Five agents cause evolution: mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, nonrandom mating, and natural selection, which is the only mechanism that leads to adaptation. Natural selection maintains genetic variation and can preserve polymorphisms through mechanisms like heterozygote advantage.
Population genetics with qs
Population genetics is the study of genetic variation within populations. A population shares a gene pool containing all alleles of individuals. Different species that interbreed often produce sterile offspring. Microevolution occurs through changes in a population's gene pool over time due to processes like natural selection and genetic drift. The modern synthesis theory recognizes that genes are responsible for inheritance and that populations, not individuals, evolve through natural selection and genetic drift.

All programming assignments should include the name, or names, of th.pdf
All programming assignments should include the name, or names, of the
students. This information should be placed in the introductory comments
section. The introductory comments should also contain the purpose of the
program. Clear, concise, commenting is an important skill to develop and
will be part of the grade for each program. Programs should be submitted
via Blackboard as “.cpp” source programs. Each member of a team should
submit a copy of the program.
The purpose of PSA 7 is practice our programming style and techniques on
a fairly simple real world example of an application. PSA7.cpp is a program
that analyzes various aspects of the clients at an animal shelter. Your task
is to fill in the three routines that provide the necessary information to the
main routine. You may not alter the code in main. You must use the
interfaces as defined.
The first two routines are almost trivial and the only thing that is special
about one of them is the need to use a persistent variable.
The third one, shotRecord is a bit challenging. You must determine if each
animal has had the correct shots. These are for Parvovirus, Rabies, and
Bordetella. One confusion factor here is that they could have also received
a shot for Leptospirosis; that is not a required shot. Further complicating
things is the fact that the only thing that is important is that they received
the shot; they may have received their inoculations in differing orders.
Programme it using \"CODE::BLOCK and also use the main function below:

Why steroids can cross the cell membrane?
Why steroids can cross the cell membrane?
Solution
Steroids are organic molecules, found in our body in the form of cholesterol, steroid hormones,
vitamin D and also in the form of medicinal drugs. The steroids are non-polar and are similar to
lipids. These molecules play a very important role in cell membrane stability and also in signal
transduction in the body.
To carry out the different functions in the body, the steroid molecules must enter the cell and
bind to its target receptor and initiate the cascade of cellular response. The cell membrane is
made of phospholipids with polar head groups of lipids on the exterior of cell surface and
towards the cytosol, and the non-polar chains in the middle.
This architecture of the cell membrane allows steroids to cross the cell membrane being
lipophilic. The entry of steroids in the cell might take place with the help of receptors or carrier
proteins..

Why is “Profit” a problematic target Please consider in your answer.pdf
Why is “Profit” a problematic target? Please consider in your answer different types of profit, the
possible differences between profit and turnover (=sales) as a measure and also the definitions
and meaning of profit/capital ratio(s).
Solution
\"Profit\" is a problematic target because it includes wide range of emotions and and issues
among respondents i.e. they ranged acceptable profit to profit effect on decision making and
future variability of capitalization. in same way today\'s cash is driven by yesterday;s decision
making on pricing. Profit is the difference between income a business generates and expenses
incurred in business running.
Types of Profit -
1. Gross Profit - Gross profit is difference between all sales of the company and cost of
producing the products for a company. this mainly used by company officials when making
decision about pricing and what material to be used in manufacturing part of business.
2. Net Profit - Net profit subtracts all of the expenses of company from its gross sales. The net
profit is and indicator that how business performing over the time.
3. Net Profit after Interest and Tax - Net profit of a company further reduced when interest and
taxes are deducted from profit.
4. Retained Profit - Retained profit is any profit remaining after the shareholders receive their
dividends.most of the time this funds will reinvested in company.
Differences between profit and turnover -
Turnover is net sales generated by firm while profit is earning of a firm after all expenses have
been charged against net sales.Thus Turnover and Profit is beginning and ending points of the
income statements.
A difference between turnover and profit is that a rising in turnover may be a sign that business
is growing but profit is and indicator of health of business.
The definitions and meaning of profit/capital ratio - Profit capital ratio expressed as percentage,
complements ratio by add a company\'s debt liabilities, or funded debt, to equity to reflect
company\'s total capital. This ratio measures narrow focus to gain a better understanding of
company\'s ability to generate returns from available sources..

Which cable type would be used to connect a router to a switch?
A. Straight-through
B. Crossover
C. Rollover
D. None of the above
Solution
A is correct. Switches and routers have different pinouts; therefore, a straight-through cable
should be used.
B, C, and D are incorrect. B is incorrect because a crossover cable will not work between two
devices of different pinouts. C is incorrect because rollover cables are used between a PC and a
router/switch console port. D is incorrect..
What is the role of abiotic factors in the formation of biomesS.pdf
What is the role of abiotic factors in the formation of biomes?
Solution
A biome is a large terrestrial region characterized by a specific type of climate and dominant
plant life. There are a variety of terrestrial biomes contributing to the biodiversity on the earth.
The living components of a biome include the organisms with life such as plants, animals,
microbes and all living organisms. The non living components or abiotic factors include the
components without life such as water, air, nutrients, heat and solar energy.
For example, biomes like tropical rain forests are found at the equator with hot, moisture air rises
dumping the moisture in the land. These forests have warm temperatures, high humidity and
heavy rain fall daily. The forests are dominated by broad leaf ever green plants and much of
animal life specifically large insects, bats and birds are abundant. Tree climbing animals and
decomposers are heavily populated in tropical rain forests. These forests show great biodiversity
with suitable climatic conditions for survival of all type of animals.
The abiotic factors such as warm temperatures, moist air and rainfall daily keep the vegetation of
the forest growing to provide nutrition for all kinds of organisms live in the biome. The sunlight
helps the plants to synthesize nutrients and to provide them to plant dependent organisms. Thus,
abiotic factors like temperature, sunlight, air and nutrients influence the growth, reproduction
and survival of organisms in the ecological food chain in a biome..

What are the major terrestrial adaptations of plants1- List the F.pdf
What are the major terrestrial adaptations of plants?
1- List the FOUR major challenges plants encountered as they evolved on to land.
2- Next to each challenge, provide at least ONE (or more) example(s) of an adaptation that meets
that challenge. Refer to Ch 17, Section 17.1 (pp 342-43)
Follow format below:
Challenge 1- Adaptation(s)
Challenge 2- Adaptation(s)
Challenge 3- Adaptation(s)
Challenge 4- Adaptation(s)
Solution
the four major challenges observed in all terrestrial plants include the following.
there is an alternation of generations,
a sporangium formation is seen,
a gametangium giving rise to haploid cells,
Apical meristem tissue which develops from roots and shoots.
challenge 1- Alternation of generations: Ferns reproduce using alteration of generations. it is a
diploid sporophyte and by meiosis produces single-celled haploid spores which are dispersed by
air, wind or floating water. after the spore reaches appropriate conditions, it will germinate and
form prothallus which carries out sexual reproduction forming a sporophyte.
challenge 2- Sporangia in the Seedless Plants: sporophytes of seedless plants are diploid and are
a result of syngamy or fusion of 2 gametes. sporophyte contains sporangia which are a
reproductive sac containing spores. inside the sporangia, diploid sporocytes or mother cells
produce haploids by meiosis thereby reducing chromosome number from 2n to n. These spores
get dispersed in the environment. ferns, mosses are one such
challenge 3- Gametangia in the Seedless Plants: seedless plants produce sperm with flagella and
swim into a moist environment to the archegonia which are the female gametangium. later, the
embryo develops inside as sporophyte. Liverwort plants are one example for such adaptation.
challenge 4- Apical Meristems: by rapid cell division in the tissues, the length of roots and
shoots increases which give rise to apical meristem. it is a small zone of cells present at the shoot
tip or root tip. Elongation of these shoots and roots helps the plants to access additional use
natural resources such as light by shoots and water by roots. Apple seedlings are examples where
apical meristems give rise to new shoots and root growth.
The total lung capacity of a patient is 5.5 liters. Find the patient.pdf
The total lung capacity of a patient is 5.5 liters. Find the patient’s inspiratory reserve volume if
the patient’s vital capacity was 4.2 liters, the tidal volume was 500 ml, and the expiratory reserve
volume was 1.2 liters.
Solution
Answer:
Inspiratory reseve volume (IRV )= VC - (TV + ERV)
VC= Vital capacity
TV= Tidal volume
ERV= Expiratory reseve volume
= 4.2- (0.5 + 1.2)
= 2.5 Liters.

Solution
There is undoubtedly the insatiable demand for everything wireless is a growth area.
This making is called internet generation since internet has got lots of control over our existence.
All we do, internet has got more to do with it. We converse study, work and learn during internet
so internet has been an essential part of our life. Growth of telecommunications was occurring
far before the development of internet; however internet has assisted in bringing the one form of
telecommunications into more than a few forms. The enlargement of telecommunications and its
fame has lot to do by internet. Internet completes the telecommunication procedure much easier
and earlier. As it attaches a system with another system, Network is in addition a form of
internet, we name it intranets. Internet was developed in 90s and that is the period since when
information technology has been getting expanded in a faster speed.
Internet has been the catalyst for the act and development as well as exactness, growth and fame
of telecommunications, networking and information technologies consequently I think its
praiseworthy to say that as of internet, development of telecommunications, networks and other
information technologies get the speed..
Technology is an ever-growing system that provides advantages and in.pdf
Technology is an ever-growing system that provides advantages and introduces disadvantages
into organizations. Identify an organization that has introduced new or improved technologies to
enhance its information systems. Discuss the technologies that were selected to enhance the
company\'s competitive advantage. Explore some advantages and related disadvantages
introduced through this technology integration.
Answer needs to be 200 - 300 words.
Solution
Health care organizations have had to adapt to many changes in the world around them, from
advances in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to the emergence of administrative
innovations such as managed care and the invention of new information technologies. The
Internet represents a particularly profound change that will enable or force significant changes in
organizational form and processes—a transformation as profound as any that have gone before.
The Internet\'s capability to empower consumers, support dynamic information exchanges
among organizations, and \"flatten\" organizational hierarchies promises to result in new
operational strategies, business models, service delivery modes, and management mechanisms.
The changes will have such far-reaching implications that health care organizations need to start
preparing now to adopt the advanced Internet applications that are expected to appear in the near
future. Organizations need to evaluate the potential and implications of new Internet
technologies, adapt them to local needs and conditions, minimize the risks associated with new
product and service deployment, and plan to demonstrate the value of their efforts.
This chapter examines challenges to the adoption of Internet-based technologies by health care
organizations. It attempts to identity fundamental impediments to greater use of the Internet that
may be expected to persist for some time. The first section of the chapter provides a context for
the analysis by reviewing the experiences of other industries that have achieved some success in
changing business practices by adopting Internet technologies. The second section discusses in
general terms why more health care organizations should be interested in adopting the Internet:
because it can advance their strategic interests. The third section deals with organizational
barriers that hinder Internet use. The discussion there addresses internal and external factors,
such as policy and technical barriers, that influence and constrain the form and extent of Internet
use, as well as the range of uncertainties that inhibit decision making regarding the Internet. The
last section addresses the importance of organizational leadership..

Select all of the following that are true regarding evolution. Altho.pdf
Select all of the following that are true regarding evolution. Although not all transitional
organsisms have been preserved, scientists have unearthed many, including the tiktaalik.
Evolution is a theory about how life originated Complex human structures did not evolves as a
single functioning unit, but slowly over millions of years, piece by piece. Evolution is a theory
or a well-established and accepted scientific model that is based on extensive experimentation
and observation. Mutations that cause variation originate spontaneously by chance, but natural
selections drives evolution and is not random. Evolution is both observable and testable;
populations have been observed evolving in the laboratory and in the field. Evolution is a theory
about how the diversity of life emerged after life originated. Human traits are too complex to
have originated by random chance. Evolution is not observable or testable. Evolution is just a
theory and therefore does not have much evidence to support it. There are no transitional fossils.
Solution
Following are the true statements regarding Evolution.
Role of involvement in consumer decision-making. Identify the level .pdf
Role of involvement in consumer decision-making. Identify the level of involvement a customer
might use to make a purchase/no purchase decision of a cell phone. Then, discuss which type of
buying behavior is most consistent with that level of involvement.
Solution
Consumer involvement refers to degree of information processing or extent of importance that a
consumer attaches to a product.The degree of involvement has a very significant effect on
consumer behaviour. When more expensive products are to be purchased, the consumer gets
more involved in purchase process but he may not be equally involved in a product which is just
a rupee or two priced.
When consumers decide to buy a product based on the interest and importance of the product to
them, this is defined as involvement level. In other words, it measures how personally, socially
and economically involved the customer is with the product in order to buy it.
Levels of Involvment:
LOW INVOLVEMENT- Low involvement purchases are not really important to consumers,
have little relevance and need very limited information processing.(Example:Tea,
toothbrush,Washing powder.)
SOME INVOLVEMENT- Some involvement purchases are of little bit importance to customers.
It includes some evaluation of alternatives.(Ex: Skin cream,Torch, snacks)
HIGH INVOLVEMENT- High involvement purchases are those which are important to
consumers such as complex, expensive, risky or ego-intensive products & require extensive
information processing.(Ex: Cars, diamond, cell phone)
Therefore, it is evidend from the above analysis that the decision to purchase a cell phone
requires high involvement.
Extensive decision making is most consistent with that level of involvement.

Questions
a: What are some of the barriers to understanding an issue as complex as Climate Change?
b: Are you surprised by how people have ‘used’ the information about a hiatus?
c: Are arguments establishing global warming sufficient to promote action on climate change or
not?
d: Assuming you were to believe in anthropocentric climate change, using the arguments in this
subject, are you in favour of taxes or cap and trade for addressing climate change? Why or why
not? PLANETOZ BYGRAHAMREADFEARN Global warming has not stopped. People should
understand that the planet is a closed system. As we increase our emissions of greenhouse gases,
the fundamental thermal dynamics tells us we have added heat into the system. Once it\'s
trapped, it can go to a myriad of places-land surface, oceans, ice shelves, ice sheets, glaciers for
example HOSTED BY THE GUARDIAN England explained how the winds help the ocean to
absorb heat into the thermocline-that\'s roughly the area between 100 metres and 300 metres
deep. He says once the trade winds drop which is likely to come within years rather than decades
- then the averaged surface temperatures will rise sharply again. The \'pause\' in global warming
is not even a thing Media outlets across the world have extensively covered England\'s paper.
National Geographic told us the study revealed how the heat had been \"hiding\" in the oceans.
All signs point to an acceleration of human-caused climate change. So why all this talk of a
pause? Over at the ABC, we were told the paper gave an explanation for \"a pause in global
warming\" and that \"over the past 15 years the rate of global warming has slowed - and more
recently almost stalled.\" The IPCC in 2013 pointed out that more than 90% of the world?s extra
heat is being soaked up by the oceans, rather than lingering on the surface. Photograph:
Universal History Archive\'Getty Images On The Conversation, we had \"Global warming stalled
by strong winds driving heat into oceans The idea that global warming has \"paused\" or is
currently chillaxing in a comfy chair with the words \"hiatus\" written on it has been getting a
good run in the media of late. Even though these reports spoke in detail about the complexity of
the research (England feels the coverage generally has been very good), they could inadvertently
cement the idea that global warming has in some way stopped, when it hasn\'t. Much of this is
down to a new study analysing why one single measure of climate change- the temperatures on
the surface averaged out across the entire globe - might not have been rising quite so quickly as
some thought they might. But this is almost unavoidable. You can hardly blame journalists and
commentators for repeating the phrase that \"global warming is in a hiatus\" when the offending
word is in the itle of the scientific paper itself (Recent intensification of wind-driven circulation
in the Pacific and the ongoing warming hiatus But here\'s the thing. There never was a \"paus.

Village of Aurora was never flooded before the Year 2016. Ever since a new development in the
neighboring city, the area started to experience the flood in 2017. An investigation was launched
and found that the new development was the cause of the flood for the downstream area
including the Aurora Village. What measures can be applied to mitigate the flood for the
downstream area?
Solution
The major development project which causes the flooding of the down stream areas are dams,
dams have both advantages and disadvantages in their own way, compared to the disadvantages
the advantages are more when compared in the long run, one of the major problem is flooding of
villages in the down stream areas and a lot of ecosystem is submerged while construction of the
dam, the following measures can be taken to prevent the flooding of areas in the down stream:
1. Design the dam in such a way that there would be minimum impact on the environment and
the population living nearby
2. If the soil is not fertile, then stabilize the soil if not done the erosion takes place
3. Remeandering of rivers is to be done so that they are in their natural course itself
4. Provide more reservouir for storing of water
5. Provide an alarming system for reducing of impact on the surrounding population
6. Provide sufficient number of crest gates to control the flow in case of floods
7. Construct the buildings above the ground level in flood prone areas, so that the houses will not
be damaged
The above measures would be sufficient enough to diminish the effect of flood in a given area..
Quality software project managementHow are tasks, activities, and .pdf
Quality software project management
How are tasks, activities, and phases most typically related to each other with respect to a
project? chapter 1
Solution
Answer :-
Software Project Management :
Tasks :
The during the development phase, everything that will be needed to implement the project is
arranged. Potential suppliers or subcontractors are brought in, a schedule is made, materials and
tools are ordered, instructions are given to the personnel and so forth. The development phase is
complete when implementation is ready to start. All matters must be clear for the parties that will
carry out the implementation
Activitie :
An activity is a major unit of work to be completed in achieving the objectives of a process. An
activity has precise starting and ending dates, incorporates a set of tasks to be completed,
consumes resources, and results in work products. An activity may have a precedence
relationship with other activities. For example, finish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish .
Phases :
The 5 Phases of a Project :
1) Project Initiation Phase :
A project is formally started, named and defined at a broad level during this phase. Project
sponsors and other important stakeholders due diligently decide whether or not to commit to a
project. Depending on the nature of the project, feasibility studies are conducted. Or, as it may
require, in an IT project – requirement gathering and analysis are performed in this phase. In the
construction industry a project charter is completed in this phase.
2) Project Planning Phase :
A project management plan is developed comprehensively of individual plans for – cost, scope,
duration, quality, communication, risk and resources. Some of the important activities that mark
this phase are -making WBS, development of schedule, milestone charts, GANTT charts,
estimating and reserving resources, planning dates and modes of communication with
stakeholders based on milestones, deadlines and important deliveries. A plan for managing
identified and unidentified risks is determined as this may affect aspects of a project later on.
Risk management planning includes: risk identification and analysis, risk mitigation approaches,
and risk response planning.
3) Project Execution Phase :
A project deliverable is developed and completed, adhering to a mapped-out plan. A lot of tasks
during this phase capture project metrics through tasks like status meetings and project status
updates, other status reports, human resource needs and performance reports. An important phase
as it will help you understand whether your project will be a success or failure.
4) Project Monitoring and Control Phase :

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptx
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Genes that regulate development are highly conserved. This means that.pdf
- 1. Genes that regulate development are highly conserved. This means that they have been lost in some lineages. they have changed very little over the course of evolution. large differences have evolved among multicellular organisms. they are always turned on. they have undergone mutation. Which change would most likely result in snakes developing rudimentary hindlimbs? Loss of expression of Ubx in the appropriate location Loss of expression of Sonic hedgehog in the appropriate location Gain of expression of Sonic hedgehog in the appropriate location Gain of expression of Distalless in the appropriate location Loss of expression of Distalless in the appropriate location Which species concept can be used when describing organisms that reproduce asexually? The daughter species concept The lineage species concept The morphological species concept The biological species concept The reproductive isolation concept Solution 1. b Conserved genes change very less during the course of evolution. Any mutation in the devolepmental genes will not result in a fertile/ viable offspring therefore these mutations cannot be propagated. 2. b Loss of expression of Sonic hedgehog gene in the appropriate location. Upstream region of Sonic hedgehog genes in snakes contain enhancer elements. Deletion mutations in three regions of these enhancer genes resulted in the loss of activator binding sites to the genes. Since activators to the sonic hedgehog genes can not bind to the gene, it is only feebly transcribed for a very less amount of time ( <24hr, The expression lasts for weeks in lizards, their close ancestors which devolep limbs) 3. b The lineage species concept. Lineage species concept is like a pedigree, marking all the descendents as a lineage. The divergences w.r.t. a common ancestor can be marked based on the family tree. It fits asexual reproduction because a lineage doesn't necessarily have to be sexually compatible pairs as defined in biological speciation.
