Chapter 1, Problem 2VCQ
Figure 1.7 Decide if each of the following is an example of inductive or deductive reasoning.
- All flying birds and insects have wings. Birds and insects flap their wings as they move through the air. Therefore, wings enable flight.
- Insects generally survive mild winters better than harsh ones. Therefore, insect pests will become more problematic if global temperatures increase.
- Chromosomes, the carriers of DNAr separate into daughter cells during cell division. Therefore, each daughter cell will have the same chromosome set as the mother cell.
- Animals as diverse as humans, insects, and wolves all exhibit social behavior. Therefore, social behavior must have an evolutionary advantage.

- The following is an excerpt from a discussion of Principlism, which we have studied. (https://www.encyclopedia.com/science/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/principlism) Consider, for example, the question of what health professionals should do when they discover that a patient infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is having unprotected sex with partners who are ignorant of his condition. First, respect for the patient's autonomy supports a policy of medical confidentiality, requiring health professionals not to reveal to others private information discovered in the course of caring for patients. According to this policy, health professionals should do nothing to warn the sexual partners of their HIV-positive patient, as doing so would violate his confidentiality. Second, if there is evidence that public disclosure of the patient's condition would harm him economically, socially, psychologically, or physically, the principle of nonmaleficence would also urge…arrow_forwardSuppose it is possible to use genetic engineering to make people more intelligent.

- What does the following phrase mean? “Evolution is a discipline of reconstructing past relationships, not filling in a linear chain of ‘missing links.’” Use vocabulary from the textbook to help you answer this question. I am looking for at least two SOLID paragraphs, since this question is worth two points.arrow_forwardNow, it is time to put together all the information you learned about the different kingdoms into one concept map. All terms must be included. You may create this concept map however you like. You may use pen and paper or you may choose to use a computer program/digital tool. Another option would be to use index cards to write the terms on them and then organize them on a flat surface and take a picture to submit when complete. This could be done with “sticky notes” on a wall too. There are lots of terms and you must consider how they will be organized together. Notice how, in the example above, the categories or ‘groupings’ that were not official scientific classifications (for example, simple invertebrates, worm-like invertebrates, complex invertebrates, joint-legged invertebrates, invertebrates, and vertebrates) do not have kingdom, phylum, or class in front of them. They are just classifications that scientists use to help them understand the living world. In your concept map, make…arrow_forwardLook at the image above of three genetic bar codes.
