Lab 2

April 22, 2021 Leave a comment Health Care and Life Sciences, Undergraduate

How do you determine if someone’s chromosomes are normal and how are traits inherited? Let’s find out!  Be sure and review the attached rubric below so you see what I expect when I am grading these.

Lab Project 2: Human Inheritance
Family Pedigree image

“Streams may spring from one source, and yet some be clear and some be foul.” -Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

For your Module 2-related lab project you will complete several online activities related to genetics and inheritance patterns from the marvelous University of Arizona Online Biology Project site:

1) You will complete three human karyotypes (examinations of a person’s chromosomes for abnormalities in number or appearance) online. There are questions following each karyotype for Patients A, B and C (SEVEN total including an internet search problem) that you should answer and submit to me with your answers to parts 2 and 3 below by the lab project #2 due date on the calendar.  Submit your entire report at one time in a single .doc, .docx, or .rtf file attachment below, please!

First, go to:

Reading Chromosomes (Links to an external site.)

Karyotyping and Genetic Disorders-Aneuploidy (Links to an external site.)

Karyotyping and Genetic Disorders- Rearrangements (Links to an external site.)

Read about and watch animations of what happens when things go wrong in meiosis there!

Then try your hand at matching chromosomes up here:

Make a Karyotype (Links to an external site.)

Nothing to report there, just practice.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

THEN for Part 1 of your lab assignment go to:                                  Human Karyotyping Activity (Links to an external site.)

Read the instructions there CAREFULLY include all background materials, then click on Patient Histories and follow the directions!

NOTE:  DO NOT overlook the assignment after Patient C to find and write a brief summary of a genetics-related website.  That is included in the project grade!

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Part 2) Next complete the Colorblindness Inheritance Activity (NOT the Sex-Linked Inheritance Problem set- you want to complete the one about color-blind Audrei and her family, NOT fruit flies!)

Colorblindness Inheritance Problem Set (Links to an external site.)

Read the opening page and then click on Brief Introduction to Sex-Linked Inheritance at the bottom. Read that and then click on the Color Blindness Problem Set button at the bottom of that page). Please submit your question answers for this set to me along with the karyotypes and the final Blood Types activity describe next.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Part 3) Last, complete the Blood Types Problem Set, including your answers to the questions in your report:

US constitution

April 22, 2021 Leave a comment Political science, Undergraduate

Why is our Constitution vague? What are the pros and cons of having a constitution that is written vaguely? Pick a “vague’ portion of the US Constitution. Has this vagueness in terminology been problematic or helpful? Provide historical examples. Use evidence (cite sources) to support your response from assigned readings or online lessons, and at least one outside scholarly source.

Nurse Leader: Decision Making, Problem Solving, Conflict Resolution and the relevance of Power, Politics & Influence

April 22, 2021 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 7"), Health Care and Life Sciences

Please respond to BOTH discussion prompts.

Discussion Prompt #1 Describe a conflict you recently experienced at your workplace (hospital as a registered nurse) or an issue needing a decision. Which mode of conflict resolution or decision-making strategy did you employ? In reflecting on how you resolved this conflict or on how you arrived at a decision, would you have done something differently? Why or why not?

Discussion Prompt #2 Identify a powerful public figure you admire. What key factors contribute to this persons powerful image? Think about a powerful nurse you have met. Identify this persons key image factors. Think about nurses who work in wrinkled scrubs, whose hair is pulled back haphazardly into ponytails, and who fail to make eye contact with patients or their family members. What kind of power image message do they send?

human rights

April 22, 2021 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Law

I will choose TWO of the following questions for your consideration. Your response to EACH question should be between 500 and 700 words. You are required to integrate readings and themes from the course into your responses in a coherent fashion. I expect to see a minimum of three relevant references to course readings/films for each question. Demonstrate that you have undertaken the readings relevant to each question in a timely fashion and that you have critically reflected on these readings. Note that more than one reading might be relevant to a question. It is your responsibility to ascertain what are the full range of relevant readings for any question. When appropriate, refer to the readings in a formal manner. Cite sources when appropriate and include page numbers for direct quotes.Your essays will be read with the following criteria in mind: clarity of central argument; logical reasoning; demonstrated engagement of course readings and classroom discussions; use of relevant examples (I suggest a minimum of four per essay); and comprehension of central concepts. 

The Questions 1:

Assess the degree to which the human rights situation in Syria and Iraq is a function of power relations between the state and minority groups.

The Question2:
What accounts for the progress in “second generation” rights in Iran?

Please answer the two questions separately
