ERROR 2 ANSWER Your former high school teacher has asked for help grading exams. One of the students has drawn the following picture of DNA replication. One error you immediately notice is that topoisomerase is absent from the model. Identify FOUR additional errors in this depiction (3 points each), describe what missing or incorrect information is conveyed by that error (how the “model of/understanding of DNA replication” is affected) (1 sentence) (3 points each).  EXAMPLE ERROR Error identification: Topoisomerase is missing.Missing/Incorrect information implied by the error: An enzyme is not required to remove knots (or supercoils or kinks) from the DNA during replication. ERROR 2

Eric Schwitzgebel contrasts the jerk with…

As we discussed in class, the jerk is most likely to exhibit which intellectual vice?

Provide an example of a real belief/opinion you hold that you take to be a genuinely settled issue (i.e. you can’t imagine changing your stance). Suppose you have the opportunity to engage in conversation with someone who holds the opposing stance with equal conviction. In light of our readings in Module 4 thus far, answer the following questions in some detail (a few sentences each):1—What would a “good faith” argument look like in this case? 2—What, if anything, would it take to convince you to change your belief?3—How would you attempt to persuade the other person to adopt your stance, and what kinds of evidence/arguments would you present? 4—If the argument ends in a stalemate (no clear winner, nobody persuaded to adopt the view of the other person), would you feel obligated to remain strong in your conviction (steadfastness), or would you feel obligated to lower the confidence of your belief (conciliation)?
