1. Compare (similarities) and contrast (differences) the role of LH in the regulation of the male and female gonad. Include in your discussion the names of cells they impact and what they cause them to do or not do. Be specific.
2. Compare and contrast protein digestion in the stomach and in the small intestine. Discuss the enzymes and other factors involved as well as hormones regulating these enzymes.
3. In the diagram below, the test tubes are depicting patient blood that has been centrifuged.
a. Compare and contrast each tube, explaining what is represent in each and components of blood are expected to be found in each partition.
b. If the blood sample is from a person with sickle cell anemia, what special kind of blood cells would you expect to find and in what part of Tube C?
4. Clinical depression is associated with abnormal serotonin levels. Medications that block the removal of this neurotransmitter from the synapse can control the disorder. Based on this information, is clinical depression associated with increased or decreased levels of serotonin? Explain your answer and your reasoning.
5. Draw/diagram a Punnett square in which, upper case Ttrepresents two sets of genes (alleles) for a female with normal height, Tall female and lower case ttrepresents two sets of genes (alleles) for a short male. Note that upper case T represents a dominant trait-tallness and lower case t represents the recessive trait-shortness.
In this scenario, the female is tall in appearance (phenotype) and the male is short in appearance (phenotype).
i) Given that the female carries both genes (alleles), that is T and t, for height, explain why her appearance is tall.
ii) Next, draw a Punnett square for the offspring that could be produced from the union of this female Ttand this male tt.
iii) After drawing the Punnett square, discuss the phenotypes (appearances) of the four representative offspring whose genotypes are provided in the Punnett Square.
