In class we discussed the Dutch Postal Code Lottery where lotter winners are determined based on postal codes, so people know if they would have won but didn’t. The Dutch Postal Code Lottery has higher participation than most lotteries. What decision error is demonstrated in this example?

According to this Behavioral Economic Theory concept, people may respond differently to the same incentive depending on context.

Which statements by the couple show understanding of health promotion principles? (Select all that apply.)

In prokaryotes, the trp operon is finely regulated to ensure that there is a steady supply of tryptophan. One mechanism through which this operon is regulated is the formation of stem loops on the mRNA transcript. The diagram below illustrates how these hairpins form in high (top) or low (bottom) tryptophan conditions. Now imagine that an in-frame deletion mutation occurs in region 3, preventing its stem loop formation with only region 4 (light blue), but does not prevent stem loop formation with region 2 (red). This effectively makes the formation of the terminator hairpin impossible, but has no other effect on the operon (i.e. the affected amino acid sequence of the “leader” trpL has no effect). Of the following scenarios, which is the most reasonable outcome of this mutation?
