Summary Introduction
To explain: Before the evolution of land plants how nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria could sustain recycling of nitrogen.
Concept introduction: Nitrogen recycling is a biogeochemical cycle by which nitrogen is converted to various chemical forms and gets circulated among the atmosphere, terrestrial, and marine ecosystems. Nitrogen cycle includes fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification processes of nitrogen. Nitrogen cycle is a main process by which nitrogen present in the earth’s atmosphere is converted to ammonia to make it available to living organisms.

In humans, red-green color blindness is recessive and X-linked, whereas albinism is recessive and autosomal. What types of children can be produced as the result of marriage between two homozygous parents, a normal-vision albino woman and a color-blind, normal male?
In Drosophila, an X linked recessive mutation, scalloped (sd), causes irregular wing margins. Diagram the F1 and F2 results if a (a) scalloped female is crossed with a normal male; (b) a scalloped male is crossed with a normal female (assume the female is homozygous). Compare these results to what you would find if the trait was not sex linked.
Case Study—Ella
Ella has a family history of diabetes. She wants to follow a healthful eating pattern that can lower her risk for developing this condition. Her dietitian recommends a goal of 450 to 600 kcal per meal and advises Ella to follow the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for carbohydrates and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020, which recommend limiting added sugar. She also recommends that Ella choose whole grains rather than processed grains. Ella decides to pack a lunch to take to work every day. This morning she’s making a sandwich for her lunch.
