Addresses course outcomes 1 and 4: recognize and explain how the scientific method is used to solve problems weigh evidence and make decisions based on strengths and limitations of scientific knowledge and the scientific method Before starting this assignment you might want to revisit the Scientific Method Tutorial in the Science Learning Center under the Content area. Researchers recently investigated whether or not coffee prevented the development of high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) in laboratory mice. The mice used in this experiment have a mutation that makes them become diabetic. Read about this research study in this article published on the Science Daily web-site New Evidence That Drinking Coffee May Reduce the Risk of Diabetes as well as the following summary: A group of 11 mice was given water, and another group of 10 mice was supplied with diluted black coffee (coffee:water 1:1) as drinking fluids for five weeks. The composition of the diets and living conditions were simi

"Color Blindness Project" People who are colorblind may be unable to distinguish between the colors of the attach slide. Sex-linked genes are found only on the X or only on the Y chromosomes. A color-blind man (cY) will pass *** A heterozygous woman (Cc), although she has normal color vision, will pass *** Procedure: - A color blindness tests chart will be provide to you, which would be of a high-quality. 10 pts - Administer the color blindness test to at least 100 people. Take data, making sure to note hether the subject seems to be colorblind based on the results. (Please note no NAME) 25 pts - Please administer the color blindness test to two to four of your blood relatives--preferably parents and siblings. 15 pts. - Calculate the percentage of your colorblind subject. 10 pts. - Calculate the percentage of your non-colorblind subjects. 10 pts. - Compare the two results to see whether color blindness seems to have a genetic component. 10 pts. -Please create a graph

A mother with a genotype AaBBCcDd is crossed with a father with a genotype AABbCCDd. 1. What is the probability of getting a child with AaBbCCDD?

SCIENTIFIC METHOD Each year, you grow tomatoes to eat in your salads during the summer and fall. In the past you have not used any type of fertilizer on your plants. This year, you have noticed advertisements for a “Logo Tomato Fertilizer” that, according to the manufacturer, will produce the “biggest tomatoes you’ve ever seen!” To test the claim, you purchase a bag of Logo Tomato Fertilizer. The directions indicate to use 4 teaspoon of fertilizer per plant. What is your hypothesis? (3 points) Design an experiment to test your hypothesis. (7 points) Be specific in your experimental design. Also your expected results and conclusion (10 points). Note: Please include all the steps of the Scientific Method.

Q:Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper on natural resources and energy. Include the following: Choose a specific ecosystem, such as a forest, grassland, or a marine or freshwater aquatic ecosystem. • Identify impacts associated with agriculture. • Identify and discuss the effects that a growing human population may have on that ecosystem’s resources, including loss or harm to populations of wild species. • Discuss one management practice for sustainability and conservation of natural resources in that ecosystem. • Identify the risks and benefits of extracting or using one type of nonrenewable and one type of renewable energy resource from that ecosystem, or in areas near that ecosystem. • Assess management practices for sustainability and conservation of natural resources and energy.
