INTERPRET DATA Using the graph in Figure 11-20, determine how many offspring were involved in the hypothetical cross studying skin color. What percentage had the lightest skin possible? the darkest skin possible?
Figure 11-20 Polygenic inheritance in human s pigmentation
This simplified example assumes that skin pigmentation in humans is governed by alleles of three unlinked loci. The alleles producing dark skin (A, B, and C) are represented by capital letters, but they are not dominant. Instead, their effects are additive. The number of dark dots, each signifying an allele producing dark skin, is counted to determine the phenotype. A wide range of

Read one the attached article and explore the Human Development Index
(https://hdr.undp.org/data-center/human-development-index#/indicies/HDI).
In your opinion, is the Human Development Index a good measure of the well-
being of the people of a nation? Are the items measured in the HDI valid and
relevant in the modern global economy? How are they related to the political
economy of a nation?
The attached articles propose some alternative measures of well-being. In your
opinion, are there other measures of well-being that might be better alternatives
to the items in the current HDI?
A patient visits her doctor with symptoms typical of a bladder infection. She is immediately prescribed an 800 mgdose of antibiotic (bioavailability = 1/2, t½ = 12 h). The corresponding plasma concentration of drug is found to be 96 micrograms/ml. What is the volume of distribution of this drug? Please round to the nearest liter.
