Imagine an island with a starting population of 100 individuals. 1 of those is infected with a deadly disease. Once infected, this disease will kill an individual in 5 days. Calculate the removal rate (γ), then using the removal rate, calculate what value of a will result in an epidemic. Please use google sheets
Chlorophylls a and b are plant pigments that absorb sunlight and transfer the energy into photosynthesis of carbohydrates from CO2 and H2O, releasing O2 in the process. Chlorophylls were
extracted from chopped up grass and measured by spectrophotometry. The table shows results for chlorophyll a for four separate analysis of five blades of grass.

Four replicate measurements for each blade of grass tell us the precision of the analytical procedure (sanalysis). Differences between mean values for each of the five blades of grass are a measure of variation due to sampling (ssampling).
Using Excel and it’s ANOVA function, find the standard deviations attributable to sampling and to
analysis, as well as the overall standard deviation arising from both sources.
The rate of increase of COVID-19 infection is directly proportional to the number of people infected and to the number people not yet infected.
An isolated remote barangay of population 10,000 records its first case on June 15, 2020. After two days, 100 people are infected. Develop a model that predicts the number of COVID-19 cases in the barangay. How long will it take for 90% of the population to be infected?
Assume that the virus
persists in the person infected.

- A baby dolphin is born into the ocean, which is a fairly cold environment. Water has a high heat conductivity, so the thermal regulation of a newborn dolphin is quite important. It has been known for a long time that baby dolphins' blubber is different in composition and quantity from the blubber of adults. Does this make the babies better protected from the cold compared to adults? One measure of the effectiveness of blubber is its "conductance". This value as calculated on 5 newborn dolphins and 10 adults dolphins (Dunkin et al. 2005). The newborn dolphins had an average conductance of 10.44, with a standard error of the mean equal to 0.58. The adult dolphins' conductance averaged 8.44, with the standard error of this estimate equal to 1.87. All measures are given in watts per square meter per degree Celcius. Calculate the standard deviation of conductance for the baby dolphin group.

- An environmentalist monitored the water quality of a river in city Xby measuring the conductivity of the river monthly. The conductivity of a water body is an early indicator of the water quality. Owing to implementation of activities which were harmful to the nature such as an oil spill, the conductivity in µS/cm of the river decreased. However, a continuous cleaning up plan had been carried out for the river from January until April 2020 and the conductivity measurement for the months had improved as follows: a1, a2, a3, a4, a5…, an 3, 12, 27, 48, 75, …., an 1.

A haploid cell would have a “low” amount of color, a cell in G1 would have a “medium” amount of color, and a cell in M phase would have a “high” amount of color.
