Intro to Astronomy: Probing the Big Bang

Introduction to AstronomyTheme: Probing the Big Bang*You have gained access to a sophisticated time-travel vessel that can carry you back to the beginning of our Universe and bring you home again safely. In the comfort of the many rooms in the vessel, you can explore and probe the Bang that became Big and led to us, without being affected in any way by the events outside.**You are to report back to the governments of the world, where there is concern about the future developments of the Universe. Your report should detail what happened in the past and how our world came about from the many changes that happened since the first moment. For their benefit, speculate on the possible future awaiting us all. (Alas, that your time-travel vessel cant go forward past the present.)The Project will be submitted as a pdf. It will be graded on the basis of the clarity of the presentation, on its readability, on the quality of the media used, on the accuracy of the astronomical insights, on the general formatting, which should resemble the standards of the APA.The document produced should consist of a minimum of 1500 words of content text, there should be a minimum of 10 relevant images and/or videos scoured from the Internet. Bibliography should have sources listed for all info and images/videos listed.

developed a research question, identified the PICO components of your research question, included your rationale for selecting your research question, created a title page for your paper in APA format, located three peer-reviewed articles, summarized each article in APA format, and critically analyzed the articles.

In this module, you will summarize and synthesize the key points of the peer reviewed, evidence based articles and develop a reference page in APA format.
Be sure to review the previous assignments that relate to the Information Retrieval Paper. Incorporate your Coachs suggestions and corrections so you wont make the same mistakes again in this last section of the Information Retrieval Paper.

Choose ONE endangered species. Fish and Wildlife Services website provides a list of all endangered and threatened species.

Use this resource to choose a specific species of mammal, bird, plant, invertebrate, etc. *Note: While you are free to pick any species from this list, keep in mind that USA species are more likely to have essential protections under the ESA, which will make following the research paper instructions a lot easier. 2) Identify the species’ scientific name, listing status, and a short summary of what is known about the species. The summary must address the following information in order to get full credit: *Evolutionary Background: -phylogenetic identity (kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species) -closest living relative *Regions occupied both past and present *Ecology, habitat, and diet *Reproductive processes *Population numbers (# of individuals both past and present) *Status of its current populations (stable, increasing, or decreasing) *The factors that led to the species endangerment 3) Provide a history of how the species was recognized as being threatened and the exact date it was listed. Give a detailed account of the kinds of protection plans being provided and give specific examples. In this account, you must mention the following FOUR types of protections: *Critical Habitat designation *Recovery Plan *Habitat Conservation Plan (Natural Communities Conservation Plan or Candidate Conservation Plan also acceptable) *Safe Harbor Agreement *Note: If you find that one or more of these plan(s) are not in place for the species, you must mention that you at least looked for them. For example, if the species isnt covered by any plans you could say, I did a thorough search, but sources indicate that this species has no Critical Habitat Designation, Recovery Plan, Habitat Conservation Plan, or Safe Harbor Agreement. We will be double- checking your accuracy, so be thorough in your search! 4) Analyze and report on the species’ political and social history, including the following aspects: *Economic costs (dollar amount) of legally protecting the species. *Legislation history (key legislative decisions or political campaigns regarding the protection of this species.) *Indicate the stakeholder groups affected by the protection of this species. *Give examples of specific political or social controversies that have arisen regarding the protection of the species. If no controversies are found, indicate that you looked but none exist. 5) Lastly, you must summarize your research in the following way: *State the biological importance of this species in terms of: -the habitat it occupies (i.e. it lives in endangered rain forest.) -its role in the food chain (i.e. it is a keystone species.) -other biological information that makes this species significant (i.e. it is the only animal that can predict the future.) *State the social or cultural symbolism of this species (if they have no symbolism, state that you looked but none exist). *Is it worth it? State whether or not you personally believe that efforts to protect and recover this species are “worth it.” *Make a prediction of the future status of this species, projecting at least 100 years. 6) Provide a list of references in Bibliography style. No in-text citing is necessary, unless quoting something that someone said. Also, be aware that Wikipedia does not count as a reference source. 7) Your paper must be at least 5 typed pages and double-spaced.

write an analytic research paper on a primary source document that you have picked out yourself from the historical record.

Next, compare the document to the main text
(Bentley, Davidson, Rawls, Foner, Murphy etc. the assigned main textbook for your class). Use
MLA format (author, page #) to cite the references. Do not summarize the primary source.
Using the analytical documents posted to BB, develop a thesis, make an argument and then
prove your thesis by using the primary and secondary (class text) sources.

Please define the terms in your own words. Each term should contain at least two full sentences of information.

Refer back to the readings and tutorial to see how to do an acceptable paraphrase, if needed.Include an in-text citation.

Choose a passage from one of the sources that supports your thesis statement.This passage should help support your position on the topic. Choose something that you will want to include in your final paper.Take that passage and paraphrase it. This is placed wherever you used someone elses words or ideas. This signals to the reader that you paraphrased this information from another source. It indicates exactly where in the source (you used) this idea can be found. The in-text citation acts as a shortcut that points the reader to the full citation for the source at the end of your paper in your reference list. It gives credit to the original author and shows the reader that even though this is in your own words, you borrowed this idea from someone else.
In-text citation for paraphrased text (APA does not require a page number but encourages including the page number.)Assignment: The original passage, word for word, before you paraphrased it. Also include the citation information (author, title of the source, publication date, etc.) for this source so your instructor knows where this passage came from.
Your paraphrased paragraph with an in-text citation correctly formatted in APA Style.

What are the possible genotypes of the offspring? In what ratio do they occur?

Draw a punnett square to illustrate the cross between two heterozygous parents. Then answer the following questions. b) what are the possible phenotypes of the offspring? In what ratio do they occur? 2) Consider again the case of dalmatian dogs. Say that a spotted dog and a non-spotted dog are crossed. It is possible for them to produce any non-spotted puppies? Why or why not? Explain your answer using punnett squares? 3) In some mice,the allele P causes normal coloration and the allele p causes a lack of pigment to occur, called albinism. Coloration is controlled by simple dominance: another trait,ear,shape, is also controlled by simple dominance: for this trait the allele N causes normal ear shape and the allele n causes folded ears. Use a punnett square to predict the offspring of parent #1 who is heterozygous for both traits and parent #2 who is albino but is purebred for normal ear shape. Then answer the following question. a) what are the possible genotypes of the offspring? In what ratios do they occur? b)what are the possible phenotypes of the spring? In what ratios do they occur? c) Are any offspring produced exactly like Parent #1 in terms. Of genotype? How many out of 16? . In term of phenotype? How many out of 16? d) are any offspring produced exactly like parent #2 . In terms of genotype? how many out of 16? ..In terms of phenotype? How many out of 16? 4) In some cattle coat colour is controlled by a gene that has two alleles that are co-dominant: R for red coat and W for white coat. A heterozygous animal is roan in colour and has a mixture of red and white hair in its coat. Use a punnett square to show the cross between a red animal and a roan animal. Then answer the following question. a) what are the possible genotypes of the offspring? In what ratios do they occur? b) what are the possible phenotypes of the spring ? In what ratios do they occur? 5) in some varieties of corn yellow seed colour is a dominant trait while purple seed colour is a recessive trait. Using a test cross, explain how you would determine the genotype of a plant that possesses.yellow seeds.? 6) In the fruit fly (Drosophila) the allele for dumpy wings ,d, is recessive to the normal allele for long wings, D. The allele for ebony body colour, e, is recessive to the normal allele for wild (grey) body colour , E. in a cross between a purebred, long-winged fly that is heterozygous for body colour and a second fly that is heterozygous for wing shape and body colour, use punnett square to show the expected genotypes of their offspring. Then answer the following question. a)what are the possible genotypes of the offspring? in what ratio are they expected to occur? b) what are the possible phenotypes of the offspring? In what ratio are they expected to occur?
