Consider the preference on R2 defined as follows: (x,y) is at least as good as (x’,y’) if:  x is greater than or equal to x’, or x=x’ and y is greater than or equal to y’. Then, this preference is:

The expression more is better is not common in economic theory papers. Economists usually refer to properties of preferences that articulate the idea that commodities are goods as monotonicity properties. The usual language is the following:- A preference is monotone if more of each commodity makes the agent better off. (this is equivalent to more is better).-  A preference is strictly monotone if no less of any commodity and at least more of one commodity makes the agent better off.-  A preference is locally non-satiated if for each bundle and each neighborhood of the bundle (in the Euclidean metric), there is a bundle for the agent that makes them better off.Then,

Consider the following graph of a two-commodity consumption space. There is a blue budget line whose vertical intercept is 80 and its horizontal intercept is 40.Suppose the agent has income $2,400.00 and the budget constraint is shown in the figure. If they have utility function U(x,y)=6x+2y, what is the bundle that maximizes their preferences on the budget constraint?

Consider the following graph of a two-commodity consumption space. There is a blue budget line whose vertical intercept is 80 and its horizontal intercept is 40.We infer that:

Control of intestinal motility by the enteric nervous system (ENS) has which one of the following characteristics?

A patient presents with prolonged a PTT but normal PT. Which clinical condition most likely accounts for this abnormality?

Long Answer  Let’s suppose a gene in butterflies affects the brightness of wing color: vibrant is dominant to dull. A true-breeding male with dull wings is crossed to a true-breeding female with vibrant wings. All F1 offspring are vibrant. The F1 female offspring are then crossed to true-breeding males with dull wings. All F2 offspring are vibrant. Below are three possible inheritance patterns. Below each one, write either “Possible” or “Not possible”. If you put “Not possible” provide one and only one explanation why it is not possible.   A. (6 points) Mendelian inheritance (autosomal dominant) B. (6 points) Maternal effect C. (6 points) Maternal inheritance
