(a)

Summary Introduction

To create: A data table for all sampling sites by estimating the frequencies of lap94 allele using a pie chart.

Introduction: Mytilus edulis also known as marine blue mussel is found along the coastal line of the Northern Atlantic Ocean, including Europe, North America, and the Northern Palearctic. It is adapted to high salinity environment due to the presence of a locus for a particular allele, lap94. Lap (leucine amino-peptidase) cleaves the n-terminal amino acids from short peptides and releases free amino acids to the cytosol and thus regulates the mussel’s internal saltwater balance through osmoregulation.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To draw: A graph representing frequencies for sites 1-8 with respect to increasing salinity in Long Island Sound and to compare the data of sites 9-11 to the data from sites within the Sound.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To construct: A hypothesis to explain (1)the maintenance of mussels osmotic balance in high salinity environment by lap94 allele but is costly to use in less salty water and (2) long distance dispersal of mussels larvae before their settlement on rocks and grow into adults.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.     How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population? Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?   Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
Other than oil and alcohol, are there other liquids you could compare to water (that are liquid at room temperature)? How is water unique compared to these other liquids? What follow-up experiment would you like to do, and how would you relate it to your life?
