Question 11

The wings of birds have evolved to facilitate powered flight, but they are also:

Derived from structures that had other functions, such as thermoregulation and sexual display.
Able to evolve into any other type of structure, given the flexibility of developmental genes.
Unable to revert back to serving other functions (if they ever had them).
Certainly only a transition on the way to something else in the future.

Question 12

Which of the following is TRUE:

For most of life's history, organisms have been multicellular, though hominids only occupy a tiny portion of this history.
For most of life's history, organisms have been a mixture of uni- and multicellular, through hominids have occupied only a fairly small portion of this history.
For most of life's history, organisms have been unicellular, and hominids occupy only a tiny portion of the entire span of time in which life has existed on Earth.
For most of life's history, organisms have reverted back and forth between uni- and multicellular, with a sort of "zig-zag" pattern in which one form of life dominated at any particular time.

Question 13

There are some phenotypic differences among human populations that reflect adaptation to different environments. This indicates that:

Some populations are innately superior to others, because they have what it takes to prevail in those environments.
Selection has been active on these populations.
There are candidates for a program of selective breeding wherein we can pinpoint universally desirable characteristics.
Admixture among human populations is decreasing, and that continued admixture can only mean that humans must stop adapting to their environments. This is neither "good" or "bad", it's simply the way that selection works.

HIV/AIDS

provide information about the populations (size and/or situation) that will be impacted. In your description, make sure you do the following:

1.Explain the difference between raw data and information derived from it, and give examples of substantive information pertinent to this list of emerging public health issues.

2. Identify the ethnographic (sociocultural) features and the epidemiological (disease risk) features of the population

3. present probable consequences to the population if intervention is not enacted.

4. Create a statement of hypothesized causes of each problem so that the audience can judge the level and type of intervention the public expects. Make sure you discuss both the following factors: Ethnographic factors: Explain what individuals, people, governments, business, or other agencies are doing that may contribute to the problem. Epidemiological factors: Explain changes in environments or agents that may be contributing to the emergence of the problem.

5.Provide evidence of systemic or programmatic problems. Provide examples of substantive information pertinent to the list of emerging public health issues.
