Principles of Economics

The world price of wine is below the price that would prevail in Canada in the absence of trade.
a. Assuming that Canadian imports of wine are a small part of total world wine production, draw a graph for the Canadian market for wine under free trade. Identify consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus in an appropriate table.
b. Now suppose that an unusual shift of the Gulf Stream leads to an unseasonably cold summer in Europe, destroying much of the grape harvest there. What effect does this shock have on the world price of wine? Using your graph and table from part (a), show the effect on consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus in Canada. Who are the winners and losers? Is Canada as a whole better or worse off?

Two students are canoeing on a river. While heading upstream, they accidentally drop an empty bottle overboard. They then continue paddling for 60 minutes, reaching a point 2.0 $\mathrm{km}$ farther upstream. At this point they realize that the bottle is missing and, driven by ecological awareness, they turn around and head downstream. They catch up with and retrieve the bottle (which has been moving along with the current) 5.0 $\mathrm{km}$ downstream from the turn-around point. (a) Assuming a constant paddling effort throughout, how fast is the river flowing? (b) What would the canoe speed in a still lake be for the same paddling effort?

Algebra and Trigonometry

Gravity Near the Moon We can use Newton's Law of Gravity to measure the gravitational attraction between the moon and an algebra student in a spaceship located a distance $x$ above the moon's surface:
$$F(x)=\frac{350}{x^{2}}$$
Here $F$ is measured in newtons $(\mathrm{N}),$ and $x$ is measured in millions of meters.
(a) Graph the function $F$ for values of $x$ between 0 and $10 .$
(b) Use the graph to describe the behavior of the gravitational attraction $F$ as the distance $x$ increases.

A new predator invades the habitat of a population of field mice. Individuals with larger body size are easier for the predator to capture then individuals with smaller body size. Draw a histogram of body sizes with two plot lines, one showing the former population and another showing the new population that indicates how this population will likely evolve. On your histogram, also indicate what type of natural selection is occurring here.

Linear Algebra and Its Applications

In Exercises 9 and $10,$ mark each statement True or False. Justify each answer.
a. In order for a matrix $B$ to be the inverse of $A,$ both equations $A B=I$ and $B A=I$ must be true.
b. If $A$ and $B$ are $n \times n$ and invertible, then $A^{-1} B^{-1}$ is the inverse of $A B .$
c. If $A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}{a} & {b} \\ {c} & {d}\end{array}\right]$ and $a b-c d \neq 0,$ then $A$ is invertible.
d. If $A$ is an invertible $n \times n$ matrix, then the equation $A \mathbf{x}=\mathbf{b}$ is consistent for $\operatorname{each} \mathbf{b}$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ .
e. Each elementary matrix is invertible.

8. Use the segment of DNA below to show the process of transcription by filling in the missing half with mRNA.
- T A C T G T G C G A A T G C A A T T -

16. Examine the strand below containing an insertion mutation.
- T A C T G T T G C G A A T G C A A T T -
a) Determine the correct sequence of amino acids coded for by this strand.
b) How does this compare to the sequence from question 8?

An incorrect amino acid appears in this type of mutation, creating the wrong protein. It is called a missense mutation.

17. Below is another example of a substitution mutation.
- T A C T G T G C G A T T G C A A T T -
a) Determine the correct sequence of amino acids coded for by this strand.

This type of mutation, in which a stop codon is created, is very serious because the construction of the protein ends. A protein is not built, or an incorrect fragment is built. This is a nonsense mutation.

1. Compare the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase utilized by SARS-CoV-2 and DNA-dependent DNA polymerase as in the classic central dogma. Which has higher fidelity and why? You may use PubMed to find additional sources if necessary.

2. What are genomic hotspots? Considering COVID-19 is caused by a novel virus among humans, what process(es) might these areas of the genome be critical in enabling?
Areas of the genome that mutate a lot, so it means it is not an essential part of the virus because it is constantly changing. The processes that these areas of the genome might be critical in enabling are .

3. What proteins are encoded in the SARS-CoV-2 genome? What is the general function of each?

foreign antigens and our own infected cells after they have been
recognized by the immune system. Describe two ways that antigens or
infected cells are immobilized or destroyed:
