Who is the artist and name of the song in the clip? 

Using the phylogenetic tree (figure 26.4), which two organisms are the most closely related?

A strain of asexually reproducing heterotrophic bacteria produces 200,000 genetically identical individuals via binary fission. If a bacteriophage virus is introduced to the population and half of the individuals are killed by infection, what should we expect to happen to the genetic diversity of the bacterial population?

A forest population of flies utilize different elaborate courtship rituals, which involve fighting other males and making stylized movements that attract females. One season, a mutation causes some of the flies to change their courtship rituals, which now only attracts a certain genotype of female to mate. If this situation persisted indefinitely, what is the most likely long-term outcome?

CIVE 519 – IRRIGATION WATER MANAGEMENT   1st MID-TERM EXAM   Note: The value of each question is 37.5 points. The exam is open book/notes. Write down assumptions. You can use a calculator or laptop (no internet access), but do not use a cell phone. Work alone. Time allowed for the exam is 1:15 (h:min).  Q1 (37.5 points). A given soil has a volumetric water content at field capacity of 28% and at wilting point of 18%. The crop root zone depth (maximum) is 0.5 m.    Answer the following questions showing your work, steps, and units:    If the farmer only allows half of the available water to be depleted between irrigations, how much water (net irrigation (not considering irrigation efficiency, losses)) would the farmer need to apply (in “mm” of water depth)?   

Leptin is a hormone produced by ________________ cells that is involved in energy balance and fat storage.

The consensus of the EAL is that indirect calorimetry, when available, should be used for determining energy needs of overweight or obese clients.

According to Egan, “The decrease in fluid pressure along the tube reflects a cumulative energy loss, as predicted by the second law of thermodynamics.  Available energy decreases because frictional forces (flow resistance) oppose fluid flow.”  Where are the two places that these frictional forces exist?  

The Bernoulli principle states that as the flow through a tube increases, the pressure in the fluid will                     along with its potential energy.
