A)  Study the diagram below.  Provide TWO LETTERS that mark unconformities.  Name the type of unconformity represented by each of these two letters. AND, B) Explain the formation of a nonconformity type of unconformity and why unconformities “prove” that the Earth must be incredibly old.

Study the diagram below and answer the following question. What is the correct age relationship between FAULT “H” and INTRUSION “N”?

A mineral in an igneous rock has remained a “closed system” having not gained or lost any parent or daughter elements since it crystallized.  Analysis of the mineral found 12.5% parent atoms and 87.5% daughter atoms of a specific isotope.  The age of the mineral would be:

List four of the eight emergent properties of life.

Write four of the six major assumptions and conclusions regarding Natural Selection as developed by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace and as described in lecture.

Feel Free To Use Scratch Paper For This Problem… Two parents (mom has brown-eyes but the phenotype for dad is not given) have a 50% chance of having a brown-eyed child, a 37.5% change of having a green-eyed child, and a 12.5% chance of having a blue-eyed child. What are the genotypes of both parents and the possible genotypes for the brown-eyed children? Use B or b for the Bey-2 gene and G or g for the Gey-2 gene. The hint is in the percentages of the brown-eyed, green-eyed, and blue-eyed children… Genotype for Mom (Brown-eyed) is [genotype1] Genotype for Dad is [genotype2] The Brown-eyed Child can have three different genotypes: [genotype3], [genotype4], and [genotype5]

Choose only ONE of the next two questions to answer for variable points of Extra Credit (do not answer both or no extra credit points will be awarded): a.  Up to 5 Points of Extra Credit – Feel Free to Use Scratch Paper On This Problem:  You have a dihybrid cross involving Labrador Retrievers where one parent is a Yellow Lab (Mom) and the other parent is a Chocolate Lab (Dad). Another bit of needed information is that the parents of the Yellow Lab (Mom) are both Black Labs. The Yellow Lab and the Chocolate Lab are only able to have Chocolate Lab and Yellow Lab puppies and are not able to have Black Lab puppies. What are the genotypes of one of the two parents of the Yellow Lab (Mom) – one of the Black Lab parents genotypes is given. What are the genotypes for the parents (Mom and Dad), and what are the genotypes of the puppies (Yellow and Chocolate)? Use the letter A or a for Fur Color and B or b for Depositing of Pigments. Yellow Lab (Mom) Parents:  Black Lab = AaBb and Black Lab = [lab1] Parents (Mom and Dad): Mom (Yellow Lab) = [lab2] and Dad (Chocolate Lab) = [lab3] Puppies: Chocolate Lab Puppies = [lab4] and Yellow Lab Puppies = [lab5]   b. Up to 5 Points of Extra Credit – Speciation occurs due to the interaction of three main processes. In other words, please describe how speciation occurs. For full points, include the three processes that are interacting in speciation. [interacting1]   Remember, you can only answer ONE of these questions – if you answer both, then no extra credit points will be granted…you must choose.
