The relative abundance of the major animal phyla given in the table, and calculate the number of named species of arthropods, mollusks, and nematode worms existing per named species of chordate. The predicted numbers must be determined for overestimation or underestimation. Introduction: The relative abundance of arthropods, mollusks, and nematodes needs to be estimated. Relative abundance refers to the percent composition of an organism relative to the total number of organisms in that particular area. Based on the number of species given in the table, the relative abundance needs to be calculated.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for? 3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
