The Kong et al. paper we read demonstrated the importance of the natriuretic peptide C (NPPC) and its receptor NPR2 in mammalian chemotaxis.  A. Describe the experimental results that demonstrated that the expression of NPPC comes from the oviduct lining in the ampulla, in response to signals from the oocyte. Be sure to mention the relevant controls in this experiment, and indicate whether this was a find it, lose it, or move it experiment.  B. Describe the experimental result that demonstrated the in vivo (in the organism) requirement for NPPC and its signaling in mammalian fertilization. Be sure to mention whether this was a find it, lose it, or move it experiment.     

A dogma in the mammalian fertilization field claims that sperm undergo the acrosome reaction upon contact with the egg zona pellucida. Which of the statements below are research results discussed in this class that challenge the accuracy of this dogma, especially in the context of natural mating?  Check all correct answers (more than one may be chosen).

Matching: for each genetic manipulation of mammalian early development, choose the answer from the box below that most accurately describes the earliest mutant phenotype you would expect to observe. 

Determining the class standing (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) for the graduating seniors at a high school would involve measurement on a(n) ____ scale of measurement.

The shape of the normal distribution is: 

If a frequency distribution is shown in a histogram, what scale was used to measure the scores? 

Which description provides an example of a continuous variable?

Although a research study is typically conducted with a relatively small group of participants known as a ____, most researchers hope to generalize their results to a much larger group known as a ____.  

Now mention something in common or different with the people in the previous question.
