Describe the SNP and whole genome sequencing strategy used to determine phenotype-causing mutations, which is focused on the principles you have learned in this course.

Genome Sequencing Describe the SNP and whole genome sequencing strategy used to determine phenotype-causing mutations, which is focused on the principles you have learned in this course. Also briefly describe other applications of whole genome sequencing in one short paragraph.  

Watch a video that discusses sustainable practices. Then explore an environment, your home, neighborhood, or campus to identify ten practices that could be made more sustainable.

Sustainable Practices Lab Report For this exercise, you will be challenged to find ways to improve the sustainability of your own lifestyle. You won’t be required to aim for a Zero Carbon Footprint, but hopefully, you will see that there are small changes that you could make that will benefit the planet. And who knows, […]

What is spinal muscular atrophy and is it hereditary? Which genes are mutated and in what ways are they mutated to cause this disease?

Spinal Muscular Atrophy The paper should focus on the genetic mutations that cause Spinal Muscular Atrophy. What is spinal muscular atrophy and is it hereditary? Which genes are mutated and in what ways are they mutated to cause this disease? (Primary focus, eg Chromosome 15) Which genetic processes are affected by this mutation? (Primary focus, […]

Are sex verification tests of athletes used to determine biological sex or gender? Explain why you selected sex or gender.

Biol 20B: Human Anatomy & Physiology Lab 14 — Sex Verification Testing of Athletes Introduction In this lab, you will learn about the history of sex verification testing of athletes and the science behind the tests used.

Do you know of an example of how a structure/organ in this lab appears in popular culture (music, television, movies, poetry, art, social media, etc.)?

 Discussion Forum Post Part II Overview For Part II, Go to the discussion forum for Lab 13 and post ONE post addressing two prompts. You can customize which two prompts you want to write about in your post, but you will need to address one prompt from Section 1 and one prompt from Section 2 […]

In general, what is better for your health: having a more diverse population of microbes or a more homogenous population of microbes?

Biol 20B: Human Anatomy & Physiology Lab 12 — Gut Microbiome Introduction In this lab, you will learn about one of my personal favorite topics, the gut microbiome. You will learn about how the bacteria in our digestive tract play a significant role in our lives. Part I —Attending a Virtual Research Talk on the […]

Summarize a big idea or insight that you took away from the lecture. Investigate and describe possible clinical applications of what was discussed in the lecture.

Assignment Details BIOL-20B-HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYS-M1-42491 Purpose: to help create a sense of community within the class (which correlates with student success in online courses). Your post should be between 100-300 words. When addressing these questions, use terminology from the lecture. By the way, you won’t ever be tested on the questions on this list; […]

Based on these data, how has the collapse of cod affected the trophic position of gray seals? Calculate the Shannon index (H’) and Chao’s estimator for Species Richness for each of these three samples.

ASSIGNMENT Schmitz (1998) found that trait-mediated indirect interactions (TMII) were stronger than density-mediated indirect interactions (DMII) in a spider-grasshopper-grass system. Rinehart et al. (2017) ran a similar experiment with ladybeetles (predator) – scale insects  – cordgrass . The plot shows the density of the prey  over time. Does it show evidence for a trait-mediated effect […]
