Q45.  All primates use eye-hand coordination for feeding.  Some primates (e.g. chimpanzees and humans) also use eye-hand coordination for tool use.   To be scored “true” the statement must be true in its entirety.  If any part of a statement is false, then the entire answer should be scored false.  

Q44.  A gene can be defined as a section of a DNA molecule that codes for a protein.  To begin protein synthesis, a portion of the DNA molecule is unzipped and one strand is used to create a mirror-image molecule of mRNA.  The mRNA then travels to the cytoplasm where it “read” by a ribosome and used to construct a sequence of amino acids (the primary structure of a protein).  The chart showing which mRNA codon specifies which amino acid is called the genetic code.   To be scored “true” the statement must be true in its entirety.  If any part of a statement is false, then the entire answer should be scored false.  

​The ___ is the line of authority that extends from the highest to the lowest levels of the organization.

An organization in which management consciously attempts to spread authority to the lower organizational levels is said to be centralized.

Q#3.   Evolution refers to sequential, cumulative, directional change A–>B–>C –>D may be applied to inorganic, organic or cultural phenomena (e.g. stellar evolution; biological evolution, cultural evolution) when applied to biological organisms, explains the existence of modern organisms as the end-product of a process which involves sequential, intergenerational change over a long-time scale.         all of these statements describe evolution

The president of Digital Equipment Corporation discovered that his company was having a problem with counterproductive product groups who were working selfishly rather than cooperating with one another. To solve the problem, he combined the company’s twelve U.S. product groups into three regional management centers. This solution is referred to as departmentalization by

Q20. A primitive trait is a trait which is similar in both the ancestor and the descendant.  This is the opposite of a _________ trait which is a trait that has newly emerged in the descendant and is not found in the ancestor.  The grasping hands with nails found in Eocene primates of 55 million years ago represent a ______  trait when compared to the non-grasping hands with claws found in early mammals of 200 million years ago (Mya).  [Note:  The same word is used for both blanks] Q21. All primates have prehensile hands with long fingers, an opposable thumb and _________ (instead of claws) on their digits.  All primates have touch receptors in their fingertips for getting information about the world. Q22. All primates have eyes facing in the forward plane with some degree of bony eye protection.  Supported by visual information sent by each eye to each hemisphere of the brain, this provides the basis for ___________ vision (which allows primates to be good at judging distance).  Q23. Matt Cartmill proposed that the earliest primates used their grasping hands and stereoscopic vision to harvest and feed on insects.  All contemporary primates (including humans) still use well-developed _________ coordination to grasp and bring food to the mouth.  In contrast, most mammals bring their mouth to the food (e.g. dogs, cats, horses, porpoises, etc.). Q24. All hominoids show adaptations for under branch ___________ including long muscular arms, a shoulder joint with 360 degree rotation, fully extendable elbow, 180 degree forearm rotation and an increase is side-to-side wrist motion.  Humans are hominoids and have all of these adaptations. Q25. Brain tissue is energetically expensive.  In the motor cortex of the human brain, the large amount of cortical tissue devoted to controlling ________movements suggests that this hand digit is very critical to the human way of life. Q26.  Humans are unusual among anthropoid primates in having small ______ teeth.  All other anthropoids have a ________ cutting complex but humans do not.  Instead they have strong pterygoid muscles and the ability to move the jaw sideways against the upper dentition  (allowing for rotary chewing).    [Note that the same term is used in both blanks].  Q27. The fossil record for life on earth begins about 3.5 billion years ago during the geological interval known as the _______ Eon.  Q28. The emergence of vertebrates (and the successive evolution of bony fish, amphibians and early reptiles) can be seen in the fossil record of the Paleozoic Era.  This time interval ends with the largest ­­­­­­___________event in the history of life on this earth. Q29. Mammals with four different kinds of teeth for food processing make their first appearance about 200 million years ago in the Mesozoic Era.  However it is not until the ­­­­__________ Era (which begins 65 million years ago) that mammals radiate into the 28 distinctively different orders of modern mammals that are found today.  Q30. The widely distributed Adapiformes (including Smilodectes) is an Eocene taxon of early ______ which have grasping hands and forward-facing eyes.  This suggests that eye-hand coordination was as important in this 55 million-year-old taxon as it is among the contemporary members of the order.    

The rate of reaction increases with an increase in pH.   (According to the lab manual)

Ford Motor Company’s marketing department has recently been restructured to implement a brand management strategy. This is an example of departmentalization by product.

Generally speaking, a narrow span of management implies that the height of the organization will be ____; a wide span of management implies that the height of the organization will be ____.
