New York University Genetic Modified Organisms Case Study Biology Questions
1) READING: Case study “The Health, Environmental, and Political Impacts of Genetically Modified Organisms.” Consult Chapters in your text if you need help getting through the paper and be sure to include them in your citation. The link for this paper is included above.
2) VIDEO: “Genetic Engineering”
3) VIDEO: Monsanto Papers?
4) VIDEO: Just Label It Campaign
5) RESPOND: Answer the following GMO questions . Please type both the question and your reply. Nothing handwritten will be accepted. Answer as fully as possible.
GMO Questions:
1. Compare and contrast artificial vs. natural selection. Please remember that compare is to find similarities and contrast is to find differences. As such, in order to respond appropriately, you must do both. You can respond by writing your response in paragraph form or you may elect to bullet point or do a chart. Your choice, just answer FULLY.
2. What is an IPR? Conduct a Google search by typing in “IPR Basmati Rice” or similar phrase, you may want to include “India” for example. How are patents on GMOs infringing on IPRs? Please include the citation for the article you used to respond.
3. Watch the Just Label It Campaign video that came out in 2012 in an attempt to raise awareness and encourage people to reach out to the FDA. Did you know that GMOs have been in our food supply since 1996? Did you know 93% of Americans state they want the FDA to label genetically engineered foods? Yet, it is STILL not required to disclose what proteins or chemicals have been added to GMO products. Whether you agree with GMOs or not, do you want your food labeled? Explain why this is or is not important to you.
4. What is your stance on GMO’s and WHY? In one paragraph, tell me if you agree with GMO products in the food source or if you do not agree with GMO products in the food source—but be sure to back your position up with FACTS. Please include those sources in your paper both in a literature cited page in CSE style and in the paragraph such as, ” According to the FDA…”
5. Pick one food item and search the Internet’s reputable sites such as the EPA, FDA, or USDA in order to determine:
a. What % of the food is grown in the US vs. other countries?
b. How much land is devoted to production?
c. What year did your selected food item become GM?
d. What is it modified for? For example, is it modified for Drought tolerance? Pest resistance? Please be specific and cite your sources!
6. How did the Monsanto video make you feel about the company and their products?
Los Angeles Mission College Measurements Chemistry Lab Exercise
It is important that you learn to properly use certain laboratory tools and to report and interpret the uncertainty
associated with measured quantities. This skill allows scientists to gauge their confidence in the evidence they
gather and any claims based on them.
Florida Atlantic University Association Between Leptin and Obesity Discussion
I’m working on a biology question and need an explanation to help me learn.
topic: Describe one hormone or metabolic biomarker that is associated with obesity, and how this hormone or biomarker may be regulated in response to acute exercise and regular physical activity (exercise training).
UP Conservationist Vs Agriculturalist Aquaculture and the Environment
Identify a farming or other type of agricultural activity (such as a dairy, livestock operation, etc.) in or near your community, state, or region. Suppose a conservationist has complained about the methods used on this farm.
Identify six negative effects the agricultural activity could have on the environment.
Explain how the activity could be altering the physical environment, including vegetation soil quality, and other ecosystem impacts.
Use The Human Impact on the Natural Environment text to identify methodologies that may alleviate the conservationist’s concerns.
Explain the process of implementing the methodologies, including cost-related issues.
Properly formatted in-text citations (which is not just a url).
Properly formatted reference page using the hanging indentation format in alphabetical order by author. Only references cited in the text may be listed on the reference page.
Utilize at least two references that are different than the course materials. Course material references can also be used, but at least two additional references need to be used as well.
SNHU Online Classes Determining Requirements Paper
Overview
Colleges and universities have begun offering online classes in order to attract a global audience. The concept of online classes was once considered challenging and complex. Today, schools have become more proficient in developing systems that serve thousands of students living anywhere in the world. These systems, sometimes called learning management systems (LMS), display course content, manage different user accounts, store grades, and more! In this assignment, you will research an LMS of your choice and how it provides its users with secured interaction, content, technical support, and more. You may also use your own experience as a student using Brightspace, Southern New Hampshire University’s LMS. With your knowledge of the system and your experience as a student, you will assume the role of a systems analyst who is designing a similar system for YOUser University, a new college offering online courses.
Prompt
Assume the role of a systems analyst designing an LMS for YOUser University. You have been asked to determine different functional and nonfunctional requirements for the new LMS. You have also been asked to determine limitations and assumptions for your system design. You will be asked to provide a rationale for your work, and to support your reasoning with quality sources.
Research learning management systems used at other colleges. Commonly used LMSs include Brightspace, Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle. Additionally, you may consider your own experiences as a student. Here are a few questions you might consider to guide your research:
What different functionalities do these systems have? What different functions do the systems perform?
What behavioral properties do these systems have?
Who are the different users and what types of access do they have?
What platforms do these systems operate on?
What security measures do these systems use?
How do these systems back up and recover data?
Based on your research, complete the Module Two Assignment Template included below. You will describe the requirements, assumptions, and limitations for the LMS you are designing for YOUser University. Be sure to do each of the following:
Identify six different functional requirements for your LMS. For each requirement, you must include a rationale that explains why you chose that specific requirement.
Identify six different nonfunctional requirements for your LMS. For each requirement, you must include a rationale that explains why you chose that specific requirement.
Identify two assumptions and two limitations for this LMS design project. For each assumption and limitation, you must include a rationale that explains your choice.
Finally, be sure to include citations in APA format for the sources you used to help you determine different requirements, or explain your rationale.
TIP: The Module Two resources contain helpful links and examples of functional and nonfunctional requirements, assumptions, and limitations for different types of systems. These examples, in addition to your research, may be helpful to review as you complete this assignment.
(if you want to) or just write the answers (for 1, sketch the tree diagram and for 2) copy and fill in the table) on your own paper (one page) and take a photo or scan and turn in the assignment as a file. You will need to click on the link or open the PDF to see the Pokemon diagram. The rubric at the bottom applies only to the tree diagram. Grading for the table will be 1/2 pt off for each wrong answer.
****
1) Sketch an evolutionary tree diagram on your own paper, based on the table of characteristics of different Phyla of the Land Plants below and label the apomorphies. (6 points)
2) Copy the table of characteristics below onto your own paper and fill in based on this Pokemon tree diagram
Actions. Write “+” if character is present or “-” if character is absent in the blanks in the table (4 points).
A. How does improving educational opportunities for women help reduce population growth (in those nations seeking to do so)?
