Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
This assignment uses a rubric.
Your paper will have two parts. The first portion requires that you make an analysis of five listed traits, that are each determined by a single gene. The second portionrequires that you choose a disease state from a list of illnesses that have a multifactorial pattern of causes.
Part one : Make an assessment of your personal traits, and record the genotype with description of phenotype in the table below. These traits are determined by single genes and have a dominant and recessive form:
Tongue Rolling, ability to roll tongue in a U shape, dominant (RR or Rr)
Hand clasping, Left over right thumb crosses more comfortably, dominant (LL or Ll)
Short big toe, second toe longer than big toe, dominant (TT or Tt)
Hair form, curly dominant (KK or Kk)
Mid-digital hair, hair on any middle section of finger, dominant (HH or Hh)
Please record your genotype and phenotype for each trait in the table:
Genotype
Phenotype
Part two : The diseases listed below are common illnesses which comb
"Explain what you consider to the primary threat to the survival of Mark Watney on Mars." Be sure to use the fundamental physical and physiological principles we have covered in this class in your essay.
Notes: (1) The software for Blackboard Learn will run your essay through a digital comparison with published sources, online sources, and the material of other students, so please be sure to use your own words and do not cut and paste material from any other source.

You will start out with 0 points; the relevant points and information you provide in the essay will cumulatively add points to your score. Misinformation or irrelevant material may cause points to be subtracted from your score. (3) This assignment will be graded on (a) Description of the problem, (b) Description/explanation of possible solutions,
Mitosis is the type of cell division by which a single cell divides in such a way to provide two genetically identical "daughter cells". This is the method by which the body produces new cells for both growth and repair of aging or damaged tissues throughout the body. Meiosis (reduction division) is the form of cell division in which a cell divides into four "daughter cells" each of which has half of the number of chromosomes of the original cell. Meiosis occur prior to the formation of sperm (in males) and ova (in females); gametes.
Mitosis and Meiosis both represent cell division that occur in humans and other animals. These cell division processes share many aspects, including the production of new cells and replication of genetic material. Both mitosis and meiosis are associated with cytokinesis. The end result of both are daughter cells produce from a parent cell. The fundamental sequence of events in mitosis is the same as in meiosis (in meiosis it happens twice.) Both pro
Those that can maximize their efficiency at production will succeed over those that cannot. Let’s look at how the principles of economics determine production costs and the role that these costs play in the success of a business. (Complete the production costs tutorial before you proceed).
