a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The similarities and differences between pangenesis and germ-plasm theory.

Concept Introduction:

The pattern of inheritance describes the pattern of transfer of genes from parents to offspring. The principles of heredity have been used and applied since very early years. Many early concepts of inheritance like pangenesis, preformationism and blending inheritance were proposed to understand science of genetics better.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The similarities and differences between preformationism and blending inheritance.

Concept Introduction:

The blending inheritance states that when a trait is passed from parents to offspring, it results in the formation of intermediate phenotype or appearance in the offspring. The offspring does not acquire either of the genotypic traits of the two parents but the two genotypic traits of parents blends together to form new phenotype or trait in offspring.

Preformationism suggests the idea that egg or sperm consists of a fully developed miniature human called homunculus. This miniature human enlarges or develops into fully mature adult through development.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The similarities and differences between the inheritance of acquired characteristics and our modern theory of heredity.

Concept Introduction:

The pattern of inheritance describes the pattern of transfer of genes from parents to offspring. The principles of heredity have been used and applied since very early years.

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.
