Need help with some fairly simple biology questions.
1. What is chemical selection?
2. How do paleontologists determine the age of a fossil?
3. Define evolution. What is the difference between microevolution and macroevolution?
Solution
1. Chemical selection occurs when a chemical within a mixture has special properties or
advantages that cause it to increase in number compared to other chemicals in the mixture.
Initially, scientist speculate that the special properties that enabled certain RNA molecules to
undergo chemical selection were its ability to self-replicate and to perform other enzymatic
functions.
2. Scientists combine several well-tested techniques to find out the ages of fossils. The most
important are relative dating, in which fossils and layers of rock are placed in order from older to
younger, and radiometric dating, which allows the actual ages of certain types of rock to be
calculated.
Relative Dating. Relative dating is the science of determining the relative order of past events
(i.e., the age of an object in comparison to another), without necessarily determining their
absolute age, (i.e. estimated age). In geology, rock or superficial deposits, fossils and lithologies
can be used to correlate one stratigraphic column with another.
Fossils are found in sedimentary rocks that formed when eroded sediments piled up in low-lying
places such as river flood plains, lake bottoms or ocean floors. Sedimentary rock typically is
layered, with the layers derived from different periods of sediment accumulation. Almost any
place where the forces of erosion - or road crews - have carved through sedimentary rock is a
good place to look for rock layers stacked up in the exposed rock face.
If we look at a layer cake, we will that the layer at the bottom was the first one the baker put on
the plate, and the upper ones were added later. In the same way, geologists figure out the relative
ages of fossils and sedimentary rock layers; rock layers, and the fossils they contain, toward the
bottom of a stack of sediments are older than those found higher in the stack.
Radiometric Dating. The use of radiometric dating was first published in 1907 by Bertram
Boltwood. Radiometric dating or radioactive dating is a technique used to date materials such as
rocks or carbon, in which trace radioactive impurities were selectively incorporated when they
were formed. The method compares the abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope
within the material to the abundance of its decay products, which form at a known constant rate
of decay. Now it the principal source of information about the absolute age of rocks and other
geological features, including the age of fossilized life forms
Radiocarbon dating: It involves determining the age of an ancient fossil or specimen by
measuring its carbon-14 content. Carbon-14, or radiocarbon, is a naturally occurring radioactive
isotope that forms when cosmic rays in the upper atmosphere strike nitrogen molecu.

A paleontologist is studying the history of group of stratigraphic fossils the arthropods. Use the
diagram below to answer the questions. The pictures of the organisms represent of two different
species that your research team has assigned to the various stratigraphic layers. Which of the
fossils has been assigned to the wrong layer? The paleontologist\'s graduate student was unsure
which rock layer was the most in important to date so she dated all of them with the results as
follows: A: 100 mya, B: 50 mya, C: 10 mya, D: 300 mya When did species 1 go extinct? When
did species 2 go extinct? If found a non-fossilized organic sample in the soil above the rock
layers, how might my approach to determining its age be different than for the fossilized
remains?
Solution
a) Species in the igneous rock has been assigned to the wrong layer.
Because, Igneous rocks do not contain fossils as they form from the molten rocks. These rocks
form when the molten rocks become cools and eventually solidify.
Instead of this, fossils are generally found in sedimentary rocks which is formed in layers by the
depositing and pressing of sediments on top of each other.
b) i) species 1 went extinct after 100 million years.
ii) Species 2 went extinct after 50 million years.
c) If I found a non-fossilized organic sample in the soil above the rock layers then I can use
carbon dating or radiometric dating. It is the process of determining the percentage of the
radioactive isotope in the sample and using the half life data to ultimately determine the age of
the sample.
Basic data of radiocarbon dating-
Carbon 14 is an isotope of carbon which is naturally formed in the atmosphere. All plants and
animals when they are alive, have regular intake carbon. When an animal or plant dies it no
longer takes in carbon of any form. That plant or animal most often decays and its constituent
parts break down and are eaten by scavengers, or they decay, or are washed away etc. Instead of
these events if the animal or plant is encased in some sediment, or frozen, or desiccated, or
otherwise preserved quickly so that its structure and constituent parts are preserved. Scientists
have ways of counting the carbon 14 atoms in a sample and then they find out the total number
of carbon atoms and figure out how old the material is.
In this way fairly new organic material’s age is also determined..

This practice worksheet will have you spending time thinking about Cyanobacteria and some
fellow photosynthesizers. 1. Had this been the year 2013, I would have taught you that all extant
Cyanobacteria are capable of oxygenic photosynthesis. I also would have taught you that some
of the earliest fossils of life on earth are stromatolites, which are beach-ball-sized structures
believed to have been formed by ancient Cyanobacteria 3.5 billion years ago. In 2013, I would
have put these two facts together and taught you that oxygenic photosynthesis must have been
present by 3.5 bilion years ago and that the Great Oxidation Event, which occurred 2.4 billion
years ago when O2 from oxygenic photosynthesis started to accumulate in the atmosphere and
oceans, was simply a long time ( 1 billion years) in the making. However, in the last ten years we
have discovered two lineages of Cyanobacteria that, much to our surprise, proved to be non-
photosynthetic. The phylogenetic relationship of these two new lineages (seen in the image
below) has forced us to reinterpret the timing of the origin of oxygenic photosynthesis. First,
explain why the fossils and phylogeny combine to make us think that oxygenic photosynthesis
might not be as ancient as we once thought. And second, why would a different pattern of
phylogenetic relationship-for example, if these two new lineages had been nested inside of the
clade of previously known cyanobacteria-not have caused us to reconsider our earlier thinking?
2. C4 photosynthesis is a "carbon-concentrating mechanism" found in a variety of plants, most
notably in the grasses. First, briefly explain why some plants would need a carbonconcentrating
mechanism. Why wasn't the traditional version of photosynthesis (known as C3 photosynthesis)
good enough, and what is it that plants are compensating for? And second, briefly explain why
the phylogenetic distribution of C4 photosynthesis (shown in red in the figure below) supports
the claim that C4 photosynthesis is an adaptation. Why, for example, would a single clade of all
those C4 photosynthesizers fail to provide as strong support for the claim? 3. We can trace
ancestry all the way back to LUCA (i.e., the last universal common ancestor, from 3.5 billion
years ago) from present-day eukaryotic algae. We don't think LUCA was an oxygenic
photosynthesizer, nor do we think it was an aerobic respirer. But the algae are both of these.
Three questions here: 1 .) in what order (photosynthesis then respiration, or vice versa)..; 2.)
when (+/1020% is close enough, given our current uncertainty about timing)..; and 3 .) how ...did
the eukaryotic algal lineage come by these two metabolic capabilities?
4. As we've discussed, some of the so-called "major transitions in evolution" represent the
creation of new kinds of individuals (e.8., the origin of eukaryotes, the origin of multicellular
organisms, the origin of animal societies). Among these, some represent the coming together of

Compare the methods by which the Parsees of India benefitted from the trade in opium and the

Solution
The Parsi involvement in drugs got to serve many internal Parsi requirements and therefore,it can
be seen as part of the larger Parsi historical imperative to safeguard identity, and the main
intention is to remain economically, social and politically relevant as a community at any given
time on the whole. Therefore, this was the non European foundation of Imperialism by the
Parsis.
However, the British and the Dutch had a different methodology where the main aim is to earn
more profits through the trade by the East India company and Dutch company respectively. This
is because opium trade can be considered as a modest investment could deliver huge returns on
the whole..

List them and explain each one.
Pick one of the methodologies and describe
What tools could you use for what situations.
Procedures that you would follow.
Types of documentation you would need to keep.
Would it need to be done in a mobile lab or not? Why?
Solution
Computer forensics investigation is important now days, it is the term used to describe the
process of investigation, analyze data, and evidance as per the stored information with us. There
are few steps we need to follwed it:-
First we have to acquire the evidance without loosing or damaging data.
Second is make authentiacation on data which you have collected in first step.
And third one is analyze your data.
Following are the phases for computer forensics investigations:-
Identification Case:
Identify the exact information which we gathered for investigation purpose.Ask yourself while
anyalyzing information like, who is the criminal, when it happen, what was the intention behind
that?
Acquisition of evidence:-
Acquisition is to put to execution the acquisition plan designed in the earlier phase that is the
identification. The aim of the acquisition phase is to obtain forensics copies of all the digital
evidence/data that will be required during the next stage which is the Analysis Phase.
In the actual acquisition, procedures are focused primarily on maintaining proper forensics
techniques to ensure that any evidence acquired will be acceptable to the legal proceeding and
can be duplicated and if necessary should be done by an independent third party.
There are different scanario which shoud be consider in this case:-
Environment Documentation and procedural documentation.
Hardware and sofware tools documentation.
Evidance proof of documetation. Etc.
Evidence authentication:-
Use different security alogothm used in computer science for anaylzing data like md5, sha1 etc.
Check recording or any physical proof at the time of situation and analyze it. Check for
fingerproof if any case it is major source to finding case in minimum time.
Showing Proof as per Analysis:-
Make final documenation as per your study, or analysis over the case. So it is easy for the
someone who tooks decision what is right and what is wrong. Whatever you are presenting it
should collected by yourself it menace you shold aware why we present this documents here. All
document s which we are showing should be complete, accurate, and comprehensive
It is important to accurately record the steps taken during the digital evidence examination along
with all the needed details necessary for a third party examiner to reproduce and validate every
piece of evidence..

able to earn the daily breads.
Social programs such as food coupons and others grant lower strata people a chance to survive
while granting them some liberty and equality by providing them various social benefits
necessary for survival.
Federal deficit due to programs in own country to serve own people who are suffering by
spending in our own country for the benefit of the society at large are in line with the vision of
the society that forefather of the American have envision at the birth of this country. It is the
people that are the wealth of the society without people and money without a country have no
means. To support the American political values, the people who carry more than they required
must be taxed to support the social programs. Not doing so will increase the inequality in the
American society and lead to deterioration of the society..

How IT and Systems make a valuable contribution to organizational change.
Solution
Introduction-
By system, we mean “an integrated assembly of interacting elements [or components] designed
to carry out cooperatively a predetermined function.” This definition is intentionally broad to
cover a wide range of different systems. In an organizational context this implies a multiplicity
of people, processes, technologies, and materials that together perform a significant function and
contribute to a specific aim—a service or product development.
Although the link between information technology and organizational learning has only begun to
be explored, two related streams of research can be identified. The first adopts organizational
learning as a means for explaining and resolving the problems of implementing and using new
information technologies in organizations. The second stream of research develops applications
of information technology to support the processes of organizational learning and knowledge
management. For example, technologies such as data warehousing, expert systems, best-practice
databases, and intranet/internet systems potentially comprise valuable components of
organizational memory.
Body-
Past the standard office PC and advanced mobile phone, associations actualize information
technology, custom programming or concentrated innovation gear to keep operations running
easily. Progressions in innovation can possibly diminish the time expected to finish an
assignment, or now and again dispose of the requirement for a business procedure or occupation
work. Ordinarily, the want for expanded profitability drives moves up to innovation inside an
association, which can altogether impact organization operations. Information technology (IT)
has turned into an essential and indispensable piece of each strategy for success. From multi-
national companies who keep up centralized server frameworks and databases to private ventures
that claim a solitary PC, IT assumes a part.
Companies are using IT to improve the way they design and manage customer relationships.
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems capture every interaction a company has
with a customer, so that a more enriching experience is possible. If a customer calls a call center
with an issue, the customer support representative will be able to see what the customer has
purchased, view shipping information, call up the training manual for that item and effectively
respond to the issue. For employees, technological enhancements often reduce the number of
tedious office tasks or improve efficiency. Changes in day-to-day operation may come in the
form of an upgrade to desktop computers, faster office equipment or the introduction of a new
information system. Business owners increasingly utilize comprehensive software platforms to.

The process of Imperialism and Colonialism played a role in the esta.pdffeetshoemart
The process of Imperialism and Colonialism played a role in the establishment of a \"European\"
identity. To what extent are we witnessing this phenomenon being played out in other parts of
the world today?
Solution
Imperialism and colonialism are interrelated. They had played a major role in establishing
European identity across the world. It is actually a policy by which a country\'s power and
influenceis established in other countries through colonization by means of using either military
force, or other means.
These days it is evident in cross border encroachments. Border issues has been a major problem
in many Asian countries. Like for example India has border issues with Pakistan, Sri Lanka and
China. All these countries have established their colonies across the border and they try to invade
the country by means of military force. This is clearly a process of colonialism and a mark of
European Identity.
Though invading into another country\'s territory is not legal these days, it paves way to illegal
invasion and encroachment. Countries try to exhibit their power by use of nuclear weapons. Most
of the coutries are democratic these days and they have strong military base, they will not allow
citizens of other countries to enter into their territory. But when miscreants or anti-democrats
invade into other country they pave way for terrorism and anti-social activities.
Hence all these activities exhibit the phenomenon of \"European Identity\"..
Terrain AnalysisBackgroundAircraft frequently rely on terrain el.pdffeetshoemart
Terrain Analysis
Background
Aircraft frequently rely on terrain elevation data to help navigate in low visibility conditions, to
reduce pilot workload, to help closely follow terrain at low altitude to avoid radar detection
(sometimes called ground-hugging or terrain-following flight), and to plot a course to avoid
extreme sudden altitude changes (e.g., flying around a mountain, rather than over it). Terrain
elevation data is gathered through terrain-following radar, lidar, satellites, and existing terrain
map
elevation information. Elevation data is especially useful radar or communication services are
not operating.
Elevation data is typically broken down into a grid, where each grid cell represents a square
physical area of uniform size. Because elevation varies
within a cell, the highest elevation in the cell is usually used as the elevation value for that cell
on the grid.
To navigate using elevation data, it’s useful to compute locations of peaks (high points), valleys
(low points), and flat areas (which might be at high or low elevations). To
a specific location is a peak, we\'re interested in discovering whether that
location is a local maximum. To do this, we must examine its eight adjacent locations: left, right,
above, below, and the four diagonal neighbors. If the location we’re analyzing has a higher
elevation than all eight surrounding locations, then the location is clearly a peak. We might
choose to loosen our definition of a peak by saying, for example, that a location is a peak if more
than five of the eight surrounding locations have a lower elevation.
Similarly, to decide if a location is a valley, we determine if it\'s a local minimum by checking to
see if all eight neighboring locations are higher than the location we’re analyzing. If all eight are
higher, we clearly have a valley. Again, we might choose to loosen our valley definition to
identify a valley if more than five surrounding locations are higher than the location we’re
analyzing.
Determining if a location is part of a relatively flat area (a plain for our purposes, but it might
also be a plateau in the real world), we would again examine all eight neighboring locations. If
they are all within a small tolerance in elevation, then we would declare the location to be part of
a plain. Once again, we might choose to loosen our definition of a plain, so that a location
surrounded by more than five locations that have a similar elevation is considered a plain.
Your Assignment
You will develop a C program that creates a two-dimensional array of doubles representing an
elevation grid, populates the array it with elevation data read from an instructor-supplied binary
data file, displays the elevation data numerically, analyzes the data in the array to find the peaks,
valleys, and plains, and displays strings indicating where these peaks, valleys, and plains are.
Terrain elevation values are all assumed to be expressed in meters.

What do viral genomes look like compared to those of living organism.pdffeetshoemart
What do viral genomes look like compared to those of living organisms? Why is their genome so
small? What do prokaryotic genomes look like compared to those of eukaryotes? (review the five
points in the powerpoint discussion) Why is there such a strong correlation between genome size
and gene number among prokaryotes? What is a plasmid and what role do they play in bacterial
genome evolution? Horizontal Gene Transfer What does gene order tell us about the frequency
of genome rearrangement in prokaryotes?
Solution
Viral Genome Vs. Living Organism\'s Genome Characteristics VIRUS LIVING ORGANISM
NUCLEIC ACID DNA/RNA DNA REPLICATION ENZYMES USE HOST\'S ENZYME
PRESENT GENOME SIZE SMALL LARGE GENOME MODIFICATIONS ABSENT
PRESENT SEGMENTS MONO/MULTI-PARTITE -NA- viruses have small genome size
because of high mutation rate in larger genomes, to avoid erors during multiplication the size of
genome is reduced. Prokaryotic genome Vs Eukaryotic genomes characteristics prokaryote
eukaryote ploidy haploid diploid origin of replication single multiple chromosome shape,number
circular, single linear, multiple nuclear membrane, nucleus nucleoid, no membrane present
introns absent present size small with no different regions large with distinct regions in
prokaryotes, there is strong correlation between genome size and gene number because
prokaryotes contain total coding genes no extra non coding region as seen in eukaryotes thus
there is a positive correlation. Plasmid is a extrachromosomal DNA found in bacteria which can
replicate it self independently from cellular DNA. it is involved in transfer of bacterial genes to
other bacteria (horizontal gene transfer) thus facilitate recombination between genes and new
genetic combination. gene order are conserved in prokaryotes, but introduction of new genes by
horizontal gene transfer changes gene order. thus, changes mong conserved sequence can tell
about the rearrangement between genes on chromosome..

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Need help with some fairly simple biology questions.1. What is che.pdf
1. Need help with some fairly simple biology questions.
1. What is chemical selection?
2. How do paleontologists determine the age of a fossil?
3. Define evolution. What is the difference between microevolution and macroevolution?
Solution
1. Chemical selection occurs when a chemical within a mixture has special properties or
advantages that cause it to increase in number compared to other chemicals in the mixture.
Initially, scientist speculate that the special properties that enabled certain RNA molecules to
undergo chemical selection were its ability to self-replicate and to perform other enzymatic
functions.
2. Scientists combine several well-tested techniques to find out the ages of fossils. The most
important are relative dating, in which fossils and layers of rock are placed in order from older to
younger, and radiometric dating, which allows the actual ages of certain types of rock to be
calculated.
Relative Dating. Relative dating is the science of determining the relative order of past events
(i.e., the age of an object in comparison to another), without necessarily determining their
absolute age, (i.e. estimated age). In geology, rock or superficial deposits, fossils and lithologies
can be used to correlate one stratigraphic column with another.
Fossils are found in sedimentary rocks that formed when eroded sediments piled up in low-lying
places such as river flood plains, lake bottoms or ocean floors. Sedimentary rock typically is
layered, with the layers derived from different periods of sediment accumulation. Almost any
place where the forces of erosion - or road crews - have carved through sedimentary rock is a
good place to look for rock layers stacked up in the exposed rock face.
If we look at a layer cake, we will that the layer at the bottom was the first one the baker put on
the plate, and the upper ones were added later. In the same way, geologists figure out the relative
ages of fossils and sedimentary rock layers; rock layers, and the fossils they contain, toward the
bottom of a stack of sediments are older than those found higher in the stack.
Radiometric Dating. The use of radiometric dating was first published in 1907 by Bertram
Boltwood. Radiometric dating or radioactive dating is a technique used to date materials such as
rocks or carbon, in which trace radioactive impurities were selectively incorporated when they
were formed. The method compares the abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope
within the material to the abundance of its decay products, which form at a known constant rate
of decay. Now it the principal source of information about the absolute age of rocks and other
2. geological features, including the age of fossilized life forms
Radiocarbon dating: It involves determining the age of an ancient fossil or specimen by
measuring its carbon-14 content. Carbon-14, or radiocarbon, is a naturally occurring radioactive
isotope that forms when cosmic rays in the upper atmosphere strike nitrogen molecules, which
then oxidize to become carbon dioxide. Green plants absorb the carbon dioxide, so the
population of carbon-14 molecules is continually replenished until the plant dies. Carbon-14 is
also passed onto the animals that eat those plants. After death the amount of carbon-14 in the
organic specimen decreases very regularly as the molecules decay. Carbon-14 has a half-life of
5,730 ± 40 years, meaning that every 5,700 years or so the object loses half its carbon-14.
Samples from the past 70,000 years made of wood, charcoal, peat, bone, antler or one of many
other carbonates may be dated using this technique.
3. Evolution is the process by which different kinds of living organism are believed to have
developed from earlier forms during the history of the earth. Evolutionary processes give rise to
biodiversity at every level of biological organisation, including the levels of species, individual
organisms, and molecules.
Microevolution
Macroevolution
1. Microevolution is evolutionary change happening below the species level.
1. Macroevolution is an evolutionary change happening at or below he species level.
2. It occurs within a single population.
2. It occurs on a scale that transcends the boundaries of a single species.
3. Microevolution can be caused by natural or artificial selection, mutation, migration, non-
random mating, or genetic drift. All of these processes cause a change in allele frequencies
within a population over time.
3. Macroevolution can be caused by speciation and extinction.
4. The time scale necessary to observe microevolution, as it occurs in relatively small
population,more precisely only a few generations.
4. Macroevolution is merely a result of a lot of microevolution over a long period of time.
5. It relatively produce a small-scale (“micro”) changes within a population.
5. It produce large-scale (“macro”) changes within a population that means it results in the
formation of new species.
