1. Biologists frequently use phosphate-buffered solutions in experiments.  You need to prepare a sodium phosphate solution at pH 6.7 by mixing NaH2PO4 and Na2HPO4 (pKa =7.2).  What are the respective concentration of each of these substances if you want the final concentration of phosphate ([HPO4-2]+[H2PO4-] to be 150 mM? 2. Activity […]

Invent and describe two additional selective hypotheses for the relative hairlessness of humans. You must describe how each of your hypotheses explain the reduced amount of hair; i.e., what causes an increase in fitness for individuals with less hair than others. Now you have 4 hypotheses (+ a non-selective one […]
