Yosef is so intrigued by what he sees in his microscope that he walks to a nearby pond and collects a sample of pond water to learn more about paramecium. He uses a single drop of the pond water to create a wet mount slide, which allows him to see living paramecia moving around in the water, unlike the processed and dyed paramecia in the prepared slide (part A). How do the structures observed under magnification help the organism carry out basic functions of life? Write your findings in the space provided.

Match the following. match the items in the left column to the items in the right column. 1. foreshocks process used to locate the epicenter of an earthquake 2. magnitude newer magnitude scale that measures the amount of moved (displaced) rock along a fault to determine the strength of an earthquake 3. mercalli intensity scale measure of the total amount of energy released during an earthquake 4. moment magnitude scale areas on active faults where a major earthquake hasn't occurred in a long time 5. richter scale mini-quakes that usually occur before a major earthquake 6. seismic gaps scale that measures the effects or severity of an earthquake 7. triangulation scale of magnitude based on the size of seismic waves produced by an earthquake

The human genome project is devoted to mapping the general dna sequence of our species. this could lead to the development of new medicines, as well as the possibility of using gene therapy to treat certain diseases. however, there are some ethical issues surrounding the mapping of individual genomes. one concern is a) that your genes may change over time, making the project useless. b) that insurance companies could discriminate based on genetic make-up. c) that since this has never been done before, we should probably not do it now. d) that sequencing our individual genomes is so expensive, it is a counter-productive strategy.

Sarah and john are having a discussion on genetic diversity. sarah believes that it happen over a long period of time. john it happens immediately. who is correct? a. sarah is correct because genetic diversity occurs over a long period of time. b. john is correct because genetic diversity occurs immediately. c. both are correct because genetic variation can occur or long period of time. d. neither are correct because genetic diversity occurs over any period of time
