A modern species is currently found on sandy beaches, above the intertidal zone.  They thrive in hot, dry environments with little ground cover.  They are heterotrophic. While on vacation in the Pocono mountains, you come across a fossil that looks very similar to the modern species.  What can you presume from this information?

If you cannot see the image above, please contact your professor immediately. Based on the image, when was the longest cool period in the last 540 million years?

You are studying an alien species.   Plain hooves are dominant to golden hooves.  Webbed ears are dominant to no webs.  Tiny tail spots are dominant to big spots.  You are unsure of whether split tails or single tails are dominant.  You are unsure of whether head hair or spots are dominant.  Blue eyes are the only eye color in the population you are aware of. Based on this information… During your studies, you find that organisms that have tiny tail spots always have split tails.  Organisms with large spots always have single tails.  This defies which of Mendel’s Laws?

You cannot get this question wrong.  All you have to do is put in any of the words below.  CHOOSE ONLY ONE! and make sure you spell it correctly for credit! So far, this course has been: easy reasonable difficult hard fun miserable interesting challenging wasteful boring engaging other

He has been thinking more about his diet following his father’s death and is thinking about making a change. He has started walking about a month ago.  His physician sends him to a health coach and asks him to track his sleep and activity. He is here to see you with the following information. At your initial visit, you ask some additional questions about Jason’s sleep. He reports he thinks his sleep is fine and, although he feels tired most days, he doesn’t seem interested in changing his sleep.
