Birth control pills contain a combination of estrogen and progesterone that signal the pituitary gland to not release follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone which results in the ovary not releasing an egg for fertilization.

List two new traits (structural or behavioral) that each new species of rat might demonstrate as it adapts to the conditions on two of the four islands. choose only two islands that are described in the lesson. record the island latter and the major habitat feature of the island. then list two new traits each rat subspecies might demonstrate in order to survive the habitat on that island. note: new traits should be unique to that island and be in response to that island’s habitat feature. i cannot remember islands that were names in the lesson so only answer if you have done the lesson (5.13 life science 7b) choose 2 of the islands and describe a structural and a behavioral trait for a rat on each island so 4 total answers, 2 different structurals and 2 different behaviorals, one for each rat for each island

Turtle hatchling survivorship rate is low in many turtle species due to predation. amanda researched the predatory rate on a species of turtle eggs in the red river. the eggs were harvested from trapped turtles and the egg's cloaca film (reproductive discharge) was either washed off or left on once gathered. research suggests that predators use the female's cloaca scent to locate the eggs. the eggs were only handled when wearing gloves and then reburied along islands where the turtles were trapped. the nests were monitored by cameras and manually on foot and data on nest predation were recorded. a. based on the experimental design, what is the dependent variable? b. based on the experimental design, what is the independent variable? c. based on the experimental design, what is the control?

Awoman whose sister tested positive for a specific mutation in the brca1 gene, which increases the risk for breast and ovarian cancer, is found not to have that mutation but does have a mutation of unknown significance near the known mutation site. how should this woman be counseled? select one: a. she should be informed that her risk for breast cancer is greater than the general population but not as great as her sister’s risk. b. she should be informed that because she does not have the mutation, her risk for breast cancer is not greater than that of the general population. c. she should be informed of her gene mutation status and be presented with all the available prophylaxis options and reconstruction options. d. she should be informed that she does not have the specific mutation but that because another mutation is present she should be vigilant about screening
