RESPOND THOUGHTFULLY TO THIS DISCUSSION POST The Question:

What does it mean to be an extremophile? Describe one extremophile condition and explain how it would relate to the environment that a prokaryote is growing within. How might it alter their growth cycle/curve?

The Person's Response:

Halobacterium are bacteria that are either rods are cocci and require a relatively large amount of salt to thrive. A lot of the proteins that they contain will not function properly or at all in a low sodium environment. Halobacterium are found in the Dead Sea, the Great Salt Lake, and other places that are favorable to their physiology. Their preferred temperatures are around 37 degrees Celsius, which is generally the optimum temperature for most bacteria. So they aren't thermophiles, but do thrive in a different extreme condition.

Humans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions in east africa. the region had an abundant supply of fish for early humanoids to eat. when scientists analyze the fads gene they see an interesting pattern. people whose families have lived in this area of east africa for generation show a high level of diversity in alleles for the fads gene. conversely, people whose families had migrated inland a moderate distance from sources of fish showed a much lower diversity for fads gene alleles. additionally, the fads alleles found in people whose family has lived inland for generation are almost all gene alleles which produce fads proteins with a high level of function and activity. how do anthropologists explain this?

Based on the observation that only male crickets produce a song, you hypothesize that a male's song is a form of communication to potential mates. you set up a simple experiment to test this hypothesis. in the laboratory, you place a male snowy tree cricket in enclosure a, which is adjacent to enclosureb. in enclosure b, you place other insects, one at a time, and observe their responses to the male's song. the enclosures are designed so that the two insects being tested cannot see or smell each other, but sound is transmitted from enclosure a to enclosureb.
