A healthy college student went to Colorado at the end of the school year for a vacation. While there, he drove to the top of Pike's Peak, a tall mountain. During his first hour on the peak, he walked about but had to sit down to rest three times. The last time was in the weather station. He glanced at the barometer hanging over his head. It read 450 mm Hg. (total Atm pressure). Explain two physiological responses that would increase the amount of oxygen delivered to her tissues.

Bisphenol a (often called bpa) is a chemical found in products that people use every day, from water bottles to food containers to children's toys. unfortunately, bpa leaches out of its many products and makes its way into our bodies. what are the health effects of bpa exposure? ongoing research is finding that elevated exposure to bpa can affect a wide variety of developmental and physiological processes, but one of the first studies of bpa's health effects came about because of a simple mistake in the lab. at a laboratory at case western reserve university in 1998, geneticist patricia hunt was making a routine check of her female lab mice. as she extracted and examined developing eggs from the ovaries, she began to wonder what had gone wrong. she noticed that many of the eggs showed problems with their chromosomes, and some had irregular amounts of genetic material, which can lead to miscarriages and birth defects in mammals. she learned that a lab assistant had mistakenly washed the plastic mouse cages and water bottles with a harsh soap, releasing bpa from the plastic. knowing that bpa is an endocrine disruptor, a chemical that can enter organisms and mimic hormones, hunt set out to discover whether it had adversely affected her mice.

Plant species a has a diploid number of 12. plant species b has a diploid number of 16. a new species, c, arises as an allopolyploid from a and b. the diploid number for species c would probably be a) 12. b) 14. c) 16. d) 28. e) 56.
