According to your lab manual, which of the following is NOT one of the things
you should be able to do by the end of this week's lab? - correct answer
✔Correctly format citations in an introduction
According to your readings from this week's lab, which of the following is/are
question(s) that "science" can address. Note that not all answers must be
about DNA barcoding to be correct. (check all that apply) - correct answer
✔Are sushi restaurants selling cheap species of fish for more $$?
What is the average number of burritos consumed by a JMU freshman?
How many species of insects are in cow dung?
According to your lab manual, which of the following are the two major "types"
of DNA barcoding projects that we can do in this class? (check all that apply) -
correct answer ✔Biodiversity Assessments
Product Testing
In general, scientists can identify a new species using only DNA barcoding -
correct answer ✔False
Which of following questions could DNA barcoding successfully address? -
correct answer ✔What species of mushrooms are being sold at the local
market?
, Why are we learning how to write "scientific" introductions this week? - correct
answer ✔Because an outline to the introduction to our project proposal is due
next week (Wk. 3)
Because learning how to write an introduction will improve our ability to
communicate "scientifically"
Which of the following is FALSE regarding a scientific research proposal?
(see section on "proposals" in lab manual print out for answers) - correct
answer ✔Research proposals are typically one to two paragraphs in length
Match each sentence from the example proposal summary paragraph in your
lab manual to the typical part of a research proposal that BEST represents
this sentence. (Some choices will NOT be used). - correct answer ✔Roughly
70% of the American population eats avocados at least once each year, so
that potential exposure of the populace to contaminants in avocados is
widespread (Why the area of study is important)
Nonetheless, little research has been done with regard to the uptake of trace
metals by avocados during their growth (why previous work is inadequate)
The proposed research would address this problem by making the first
detailed examination of the controls on concentrations of trace metals in
avocados (Research you plan to do, and how it will advance knowledge)
Specifically, groundwater in 15 groves of avocados will be sampled and
concentrations of trace metals determined by atomic absorption (How your
research will specifically address or test this question/hypothesis (methods))
We will test the hypothesis that concentrations of Hg and Cd in avocados are
correlated with the levels of these trace metals in the surrounding
groundwater (Specific question/aim/hypothesis)
Which of the following is the BEST short summary of paragraph 1? - correct
answer ✔Seafood mislabeling is big problem
