Hello, need a little help!

Fingerprint Sourcebook, explain why our fingerprints patterns are permanent. Your response should be written in plain English and in your own words. Think about explaining this to someone unfamiliar with Biology. Thanks

Hello, I am respectfully requesting help with the following discussion for Biology 103, UMUC.

I need to respond to the below discussion by applying the following:

Participate individually with meaningful and original comments in the dialogue of the posted discussion questions.

Ensure your posted content is written in your own words. Repetitive (redundant) answers, copied articles or portions of articles from Web sites, books, magazines and so on will not count towards participation

Cite properly and consistently and include all sources used for your responses

Participate in weekly discussions, which require you to actively reflect on weekly readings and to develop original ideas in your responses.

a. You need to make at least one response to the main discussion topics, which should be written in your own words and should be about 100 to 150 words long.
b. At least two value-added comments to the responses made by your classmates.

I choose pollution. Pollution comes in many forms whether its air pollution, water pollution, and land/soil pollution. Air pollution is caused by gases and toxins that come from factories. Water pollution is caused by oil spills or trash that people throw into the water, and soil pollution is caused by industrial waste that affects soil from getting its essential nutrients. All kinds of pollution can be harmful to plants, animals, and humans. Air pollution is the main pollutant in everyday life. Things such as cars, planes, power plants, and other human activities produce air pollution. "Pollution disturbs our ecosystem and the balance in the environment. "Water pollution not only harms the aquatic beings but it also contaminates the entire food chain by severely affecting humans dependent on these. Water-borne diseases like cholera, diarrhoea have also increased in all places." A solution for the pollution would be having a big fine for people that pollute, fix the cars, planes, and power plants to where they don't give off carbon dioxide, and find a way to prevent oil spills into the ocean. Some other solutions for each would be:

Air Pollution:

"Seek advice from environmental professionals when locating exhaust outlet"

"Use smokeless fuel, such as gas and electricity"

"No outdoor cooking, e.g. hotpot & BBQ"

Water Pollution:

"Remove the accumulated bottom sludge regularly"

"Engage registered grease trap waste collector for regular cleaning and overhauling of grease trap"

"Keep an updated drainage plan in management office"

"Check the drainage plan before carrying out of drainage works to ensure correct drainage route

Qualifying Questions for Court Testimony Assignments

You will be given a list of court questions to include qualifying questions as well as questions that would likely be asked by the prosecutor and defense attorney. You will write the answers to these questions, show a synthesis of all the information learned not only in this class but also in previous investigative forensics courses.

This for the defense!

1. Are you a scientist?

2. What is science?

3. What is the difference between classification and identification?

4. What are fingerprint patterns?

5. Of all the pattern types which is the most common?

6. Does my client have this common pattern type?

7. When are friction ridges formed?

8. And how do they form?

9. You mentioned sweat covers the ridges, how does it get there?

10. What is sweat?

11. Are there different types of sweat?

12. Have you ever heard the term nonsecretor? What does it mean?

13. So someone could have touched the item in question and not left a print? Please explain.

14. How long can a latent remain on a surface?

15. So you have no way of determining when my client’s print was left on the item?

16. Can a latent print transfer itself from one object to another? If so How?

Thanks!

I have no idea how to begin this, ill incorporate things from our course but some started would be helpful

In this class, we’ve learned that human variation exists. What about race? While there are social and cultural consequences of racial classifications, it is clear there is no real, biological basis for racial categories. However, many people continue to believe there is a biological distinction among people of different ancestry. This view is often promoted by overtly racist groups.

How good of a job does our culture do of countering this false information with a better, more scientifically informed perspective? Many people already have a nuanced understanding of this topic and/or strong opinions, so please make sure you are using information from our class in your post. Address the following questions (or add in a perspective of your own) in an original post of at least 250 words and a response post to another student.

Does our culture reinforce or keep alive the idea that there are biological differences among races or does it actively oppose this idea? Try to be as specific as possible.

What are the differences between cultural and biological views of race and ancestry?

Why is it impossible to use biology to consistently sort people into races?
