Differential gene expression in prokaryotes would most likely serve the organism’s survival in which of the following ways?

Charles Darwin reasoned that because there are limited resources there would be competition for those resources and therefore not all individuals would be able to reproduce.

Which of these correctly matches plane, axes, and motion?

Loss reduction is a risk management technique that reduces the extent of loss so that the cost of losses is reduced.

Accessible description: The figure shows a linear demand and supply curve, where the price is on the y-axis (dollars) and quantity is on the x-axis. The demand curve slopes downward, and three points lie along the demand curve (100, 10), (200,8), (300, 6), (400, 4) and (500, 2). The supply curve slopes upward, and five points lie along the supply curve (100, 2), (200,4), (300, 6), (400, 8) and (500, 10). The supply curve intersects the demand curve at (300, 6).  f1q29g1 (2).jpg  The equilibrium price in the above figure is

You are present at the make-shift emergency room in the dark reaches of the Amazon when your witch doctor (physician) friend receives a semi-conscious patient who has just been brought in with numerous clinical symptoms including nausea, vomiting, muscular weakness and paralysis.  The individual is an inexperienced jungle traveler from the United States who suddenly took ill.  He appears to have several scraps and puncture wounds on his back, arms and legs which is thought, by his rescuers, to be from loss of balance and disorientation in the rough jungle environment.  Your witch doctor friend looks over the patient and administers an acetylcholine receptor antagonist and the patient gets worse!  Your friend looks at you and smiles!  With some urgency, he then gives the patient a small dose of a pesticide that is sitting on the shelf in his poorly stocked or equipped “clinic,” and the patient improves significantly.  The pesticide is Malathion.  The witch doctor looks at you and says he knows the cause of the illness in the patient.  What caused the patient’s illness?   (Later, the patient drools a little bit while he claims to have lost his infestation of body lice!) Answer with one word, the name of the Toxicant.

What aspects of this class did you like?  Are there topics you would’ve liked to spend more time on (including topics not covered)?  Outside of having a limited ability to work ahead since this is the first semester the course is offered online, do you have any suggestions to help improve the class? (There a no wrong answers as long as you provide answers.  This is a give away of 5 exam points.  Congrats on finishing the semester!)
