Document Summary

Some language differences (i. e. in rhetoric); very interested in showing off obscure learning much more so than homer: virgil strongly engages apollonius strongly in his poems, which is why he is so important, alexandria. Site of the first site for advanced intellectual study; the museon (museum) We are now dealing with a specific author, not a committee or tradition; although we don"t know why he is called rhodius because most agree he was born in. Wrote scholarly works as well in which he tried to make sense of other texts; the. Argonautica seems to be his creative spin on these other texts. He was a scholar & poet; worked as librarian (sometimes the head librarian) at the. Library of alexandria; library marked a huge transformation in how literature was read; engaged the text in a much more minute and precise level (i. e. verbal similarities not seen in the odyssey) Writes about a topic that preceded the homeric tradition.

Provide a short written comment that describes the strengths and weaknesses IN THIS PARAGRAPH.

The study of Osteogenesis Imperfecta and what causes it is important and the diagnosis of it is very important especially to those who may be affected by the illness. The diagnosis is what we are focusing on, the illness is caused by most commonly caused by the mutation in the collagen genes, specifically Î±1 collagen. This leads us to try to find this illness in a young boy, called Alexander Brown. We are trying to find out if this young boy has the illness commonly known as brittle bone disease, and we do this by extracting the collagen from normal un-affected cells and Alexanders cells, purifying the collagen and then running it through a Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) to separate out the various sizes of proteins left in the collagen. After running this SDS-PAGE we were able to compare the unaffected patterns of size to the cells collected from Alexander Brown however there can be no firm conclusions drawn from these results, the image taken of the SDS PAGE was blurred and pixelated as well as being very blue.

Question 1

Evolutionary algorithms are used:

In engineering, to arrive at solutions by going through many permutations of possible solutions and allowing them to evolve.

A genetic feature of complex organisms.

A process undergone by the human brain, which is similar to evolution by natural selection.

Another term used for a computer algorithm in general.

Question 2

Human literature and languages can be studied using methods similar to those used for constructing phylogenies because:

There is no other way of studying these things.

Languages evolve roughly along the lines of species, with mutations (changes in words and pronunciation), descent with modification (languages becoming more different along the way), and branching of languages (languages giving rise to other languages that are similar to them).

Because literature and languages are constructed by organisms (human beings), so what applies to one must apply to the other.

Languages undergo a process of word swapping, which is analogous to horizontal gene transfer.

Question 3

The degree to which horizontal gene transfer occurs in eukaryotes is:

Something upon which the entire validity of evolutionary biology hinges.

A mystery that may or may not disprove evolution, but we simply don't know enough about it at this point.

Something that would overthrow the notion that this phenomenon is important in bacteria.

An interesting and potentially important aspect of biology with relevance for how evolution occurs, but not something that would call it into question one way or the other.

Question 4

Learning about the history of scientific theories and the reasons for why they are initially accepted or rejected is important mostly because:

It makes for exciting story telling, and this is very much needed to get people interested in science.

It teaches us about the process of science as it actually occurs, which is somewhat different to the idealized notion of a purely objective undertaking.

It tells us which theories are definitely true or false.

It tells us that science is actually a totally subjective process that tries to present itself as objective. In reality, personal subjective factors are the only relevant factors that really matter in science.
