List what you knew (going in), what you learned & how your viewpoint changed/didn’t change. Rubric (grading) is as follows: Did you use good sources, from either the DB, itself (cite it!), a textbook, or a peer-reviewed journal article? Did you cite them appropriately? (Beware of pseudo-science babble from internet trolls typing away in his/her parents’ basement…) Description of your knowledge of the topic at the outset. What you learned/what others said that you agreed/disagreed with. Are the sources you cited helpful/reliable? Explanation of what you learned, how your viewpoint changed. Is your explanation clear? How’s the spelling/grammar? Your viewpoint changed/stayed the same–why? Do you have multiple indications of comprehension? This should be about 1-1.5 pages (4-6 paragraphs).

Writing Assignment 5 Instructions:Using the suggested outline below, write a detailed research paper on an inflammatory pathology of a human organ. You may use the same organ or choose a different one that you researched week 1 of the course. You should employ scientific sources/literature including review articles in your research on the topic (organ) and be sure to use the AMA format. There is no length limit on this paper but it should be detailed, comprehensive, well-organized and should have the appropriate language for scientific communication.Choose an organ from this list: Pancreas, Lungs, Liver, Breast, Ovaries, Testes, Kidneys, Colon, Esophagus, Thyroid gland, Prostate gland, Uterus. Organ Pathology Outline (Inflammatory):1. Introduction2. Epidemiology3. Etiology4. Types/ Classification5. Signs/ Symptom6. Pathologic Features/Genetic Basis of Disease7. Laboratory Features8. Differential Diagnosis9. Management/ Treatment10. Complications11. Prognosis12. Current/ Future Research (Including Clinical Trials)

Only accept this project if you can finish it fully don’t ask me for screenshots. Everything required is your responsibility. DirectionsGo to the Biodiversity and Evolutionary Trees: An Activity on Biological Classification (Links to an external site.) and work through the activity sorting sea shells based on morphological characteristics to study evolutionary relationships.
Please take notes, describing each step of identifying and selecting snails as you work through the activity. Please take a screen shot of the final drawing showing the evolutionary relationship of all snails listed and answer the following questions:Why was the scallop among the snails? (HINT: Watch “Dr. Olivera discusses major molluscan groups [Duration 04:25] (Links to an external site.)”)
What additional tests could be used to examine evolutionary relationships among molluscs (snail species)? (HINT: Watch “Dr. Olivera discusses how to classify shells [Duration 03:26] (Links to an external site.)”)
How was the name of different cone snail species decided? (HINT: Watch the video “Dr. Olivera discusses species names [Duration 02:02] (Links to an external site.)”)
Where are cone snails found and what are their feeding habits? (HINT: Click on snail images on the final evolutionary tree for more information about species).
Describe the evolutionary history of snails (Molluscs). In which eon, era and period did the first snails evolve? (HINT: Textbook, chapter 27.3)
