• BIO 240 Week 1 DQ 2 Virus

• BIO 240 Week 1 DQ 1 Cells

• Would you consider a virus living or non-living?
  Why? How does this agree or disagree with
  classification scheme applied by the scientific
  community?

• What are some of the ways cells communicate
  similar to the ways we humans communicate with
  other people or with an organization? How are
  they different?

• BIO 240 Week 1 Photosynthesis and Respiration
  Paper

• There is a fierce competition among individuals
  within any species, humans included, to gain
  access to reproductive privileges. The fittest
  a term that signifies the largest, prettiest,
  and most sexually attractive members, succeed in
  predominantly mating and having offspring, while
  the less attractive ones often do not. What is
  the role of such sexual selection from an
  evolutionary standpoint?

• Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper summarizing the
  events of cellular respiration and photosynthesis
  and examine the relationship between the
  two.Include the following in your paper- For
  photosynthesis, include a summary of the events
  in- The Light Dependent Reaction- The Calvin
  Cycle (Light Independent Reaction)

• BIO 240 Week 3 DQ 1

• Is there danger of discrimination based on
  testing for harmful genes? Would you support
  cloning of life forms? How about a human clone?
  What policies can you suggest that would prevent
  or permit such practices?

  f these and other such DNA-based technologies

• BIO 240 Week 4 DQ 1

• BIO 240 Week 3 Learning Team Outline

• Consider the human eye, an exquisitely adapted
  organ that gives rise to stereo vision in full
  color (see, for instance, The Evolution of
  Primate Color Vision by Gerald H. Jacobs and
  Jeremy Nathans, Scientific American, April 2009
  issue, pp. 56-63).Explain, strictly from within
  the framework of Darwinian evolution, how natural
  selection crafted such an organ.

• Submit a minimum of one page draft outline for
  your Learning Teams projects. Refer to
  instructions on final assignment provided under
  Week 5 details to assist in your research. Any
  one team member may submit this to the Assignment
  link.

• BIO 240 Week 4 Natural Selection Paper

• BIO 240 Week 4 DQ 2

• Write a 1,500- to 1,800-word paper that describes
  Darwins mechanism of evolution by natural
  selection.Include the following points in your
  paper An explanation of Darwins assumptions
  and inferences based on his major observations.
  An example of how natural selection may have
  worked in a population (for example, moth in New
  England, drug-resistant bacteria, giraffes,
  finches in the Galapagos Islands, or another
  species you select)

• How do you think we could trace back the
  evolution of organs within our body by hundreds
  of millions of years from our reptile ancestors
  by examining coevolution patterns and fitness
  landscapes?Discuss, for instance, the missing
  link, Tiktaalik, that has made headlines around
  the world (see Your Inner Fish by Neil
  Shubin).What kind of selection pressures could
  have been at work here, based on species
  adaptations, climate changes, and shifting
  landmasses?

• BIO 240 Week 5 Human Evolution Paper and
  Presentation

• Prepare a 2,000 to 2,500-word paper, with at
  least five outside references, in which you
  examine evolution of our species as we spread
  across the world.In your paper, be sure to
  include the following items- The origin and
  evolution of vertebrates.- Description of the
  primate adaptations for living in trees.-
  Comparison of the three main groups of primates,
  noting examples of each.
