/in /by

2pts) A postfertilization barrier to reproduction has what result? *

mutations in genes that control development

offspring that fail to develop

mechanical isolation of a species

gamete incompatibility

—————————————————————————————————————–

(1 pt) What do a butterfly, a tree, and my uncle Fred have in common? *

they are all members of the same kingdom

they are all prokaryotic

they are all composed of cells with cell walls

their cells have membrane bound organelles

none of these

—————————————————————————————————————————–

(1 pt) Populations that change due to genetic drift *

haven’t really undergone evolutionary change.

will then be subject to strong sexual selection.

have evolved.

will soon change back to the original form as a result of natural selection.

none of the above

——————————————————————————————————————————-

(1 pt) The combination of all traits that allow organisms to survive with the potential to produce viable offspring is called: *

evolution

natural selection

fitness

biological diversity

a mistake

—————————————————————————————————————————————

(2 pts) Natural selection: *

is a process by which nature, through biological and environmental factors, “selects” the combination of traits best suited to the environment

is a random process

is the term for selecting the most desirable traits in plants and animals and preserving these traits through selective breeding

a & b only

a, b, and c

————————————————————————————————————————————–

(2 pts) How does polyploidy cause reproductive isolation? *

it changes the timing of reproduction.

it changes instructions for how to make reproductive anatomy.

it alters the number of chromosomes in sex cells.

it changes the prey preference of the organism.

———————————————————————————————————————————-

(2 pts) The Hardy-Weinberg Equation is an important part of the study of inheritance and ultimately, evolution. If their assumptions don’t apply for a specific trait in a population, then what could be a possible consequence? *

change of allele frequencies

geneticists will have to redo all of the Mendelian studies

equilibrium

spontaneous generation

none of these

—————————————————————————————————————–

(1 pt) Evolution that occurs as a result of a dramatic reduction in population size is called *

founder effect.

genetic drift.

gene flow.

population bottleneck.

none of the above

——————————————————————————————————————

(2 pts) Biological _________ are groups of individuals of the same _________ that are subdivided from other _________. *

species, population, species

populations, species, populations

populations, organism, organisms

races, populations, races

none of the above

(2 pts) Which of the following is NOT a part of the theory of natural selection? *

individuals in a population vary.

some variation can be passed on to offspring.

populations produce more offspring than the environment can support.

all species are descended from a common ancestor.

none of the above

(2 pts) Your friend was diagnosed with strep throat 2 months ago. She was treated with antibiotics for 10 days, but 2 weeks after treatment, the symptoms returned. She was given a different antibiotic and her symptoms improved again, initially, but then got worse. What is happening? *

your friend has taken antibiotics so long that she has become tolerant to them, making them ineffective.

exposure to antibiotics has caused each individual bacterial cell to evolve resistance to the antibiotics.

your friend was originally infected with some bacteria that were resistant to these two antibiotics and the bacteria multiplied.

your friend probably doesn’t have a bacterial infection. There must be some other reason for her symptoms.

none of the above

(2 pts) After a rapid change in climate, one population of bird quickly adapts to the change, but others in the area do not. What could you conclude about the quickly adapting population? *

they had a greater need to evolve than the other population.

they already had some alleles in their genome that were adaptive in the new environment.

they reproduced more slowly than the non-adapting population.

they had a higher rate of mutation than the other population.

(1 pt) When a population of organisms is evolving, what can you be sure is happening? *

it’s improving.

it’s stable (no change).

it’s getting bigger.

it’s changing.

all of the above.

(2 pts) What would happen if a mutation created a new allele that decreased fitness? *

the new allele would spread through the population and decrease the fitness of that population.

the new allele would decrease the fitness of the individual that possessed it, and that individual would have few or no offspring.

the new allele would have to change back to an allele of higher fitness so the possessor of that allele could maintain its fitness.

the individual with the new allele would wait for an environmental change so that its fitness would increase again.

none of the above

(1 pt) Assortative matings have what effect on populations? *

they cause one sex to be much different than the other.

they cause isolated groups to be more similar to each other.

they increase the rate of mutations.

they maintain appearance differences between groups.

none of the above

(1 pt) Many lines of evidence suggest that human populations aren’t distinct races. What keeps us so similar even though adaptations to local conditions have occurred? *

members of different populations mate with each other.

natural selection has acted in the same way for all groups of humans.

populations mate assortatively.

sexual selection has acted in the same way for all groups.

none of the above.

Write a five-to seven-page financial statement analysis of a public company, formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

/in /by

Write a five-to seven-page financial statement analysis of a public company, formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. In this analysis you will discuss the financial health of this company with the ultimate goal of making a recommendation to other investors. Your paper should consist of the following sections: introduction, company overview, horizontal analysis, ratio analysis, final recommendation, and conclusions. Your paper needs to include a minimum of two scholarly resources in addition to the textbook as references.

Here is a breakdown of the sections within the body of the assignment:

Company Overview
Provide a brief overview of your company (one to two paragraphs at most). What industry is it in? What are its main products or services? Who are its competitors?

Horizontal Analysis of Income Statement and Balance Sheet
Prepare a three-year horizontal analysis of the income statement and balance sheet of your selected company. Discuss the importance and meaning of horizontal analysis. Discuss both the positive and negative trends presented in your company.

Ratio Analysis
Calculate the current ratio, quick ratio, cash to current liabilities ratio, over a two-year period. Discuss and interpret the ratios that you calculated. Discuss potential liquidity issues based on your calculations of the current and quick ratios. Are there any factors that could be erroneously influencing the results of the ratios? Discuss liquidity issues of competitive companies within the same industry.

Recommendation
Based on your analysis would you recommend an individual invest in this company? What strengths do you see? What risks do you see? It is perfectly acceptable to state that you would recommend avoiding this company as long as you provide support for your position.

Writing the Final Paper

1. Must be five to seven double-spaced pages in length, and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
2. Must include a title page with the following:

a. Title of paper
b. Student’s name
c. Course name and number
d. Instructor’s name
e. Date submitted

3. Must begin with an introductory paragraph that has a succinct thesis statement.
4. Must address the topic of the paper with critical thought.
5. Must end with a conclusion that reaffirms your thesis.
6. Must document all sources in APA style, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
7. Must include a separate reference page, formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center
