Answer the following questions about the Makela and Mikkola paper entitled “Mesenchyme governs hair follicle induction”.  Summarize which tissues were manipulated in the study, and which combinations led to hair follicle formation. The authors concluded that Wnt signaling and BMP inhibition are not sufficient to induce precocious (ie, early) hair follicle formation. Suggest an experiment that would identify the hair follicle initiating cue that originates in the mesenchyme.

Argument Evaluation First, say how strong the support relation is between the premises and conclusion. Second, explain why the support relation has the strength (or lack thereof) that it has.  If the support is weak and the argument is fallacious, say what fallacy is involved and explain why that fallacy is being committed.     (P1)    We don’t have any reason to suspect that Sylvester dislikes coffee. (C)     So he probably likes coffee.

Probabilistic Reasoning Suppose you have a standard deck of 52 cards, and suppose that it is well-shuffled.  Also suppose that you are drawing cards without replacement (i.e., when you draw a card, you do not put it back into the deck before drawing the next one).  (A standard deck of cards is composed of four suits—two black (spades and clubs) and two red (hearts and diamonds)—each containing one each of the following: ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, and King.)   What is the probability that you draw a red card or a 3 on your first draw?
