State the linking principle of the following argument and identify a defeating condition that might prevent it from applying to the target domain: My home is comfortable to live in because it is warm, well-lit, and has plenty of furniture. For these reasons, the science building on campus would also be comfortable to live in.

What is a “comparison that helps clarify, explain, or reveal something about one domain, based on knowledge of another, more familiar domain”?

“That’s why my dog isn’t able to speak German.” What is “being able to speak German” in the argument?

It is possible to employ a statistical use of Mill’s method of the joint method of agreement and difference:

If the x-properties of an analogical argument do not apply to members of both the source and target domains, then the argument fails at the outset.

Suppose the conclusion of an analogical argument is “So that’s why the ability to float also applies to dried wood.” What is “dried wood” in the argument?

G-actin is the building block of what cytoskeletal structure?

Below is a figure depicting the activation and deactivation cycle of a typical small monomeric GTP-binding protein. Click on the protein that plays the role of the GDI.

In no more than four complete sentences: 1) Define myosins by their primary function 2) Indicate which nucleotide they use to become active 3) Indicate onto which protein they walk, and in which direction (for most myosin isoforms) they walk.  Finally, 4) Indicate which isoform of myosin walks in the “opposite” direction.

Match each “stage” of the myosin activity cycle with a description of its structure or function at that stage.
