Give an example of gender, racial or ethnic stereotyping that you see in everyday life. Explain how does stereotyping contribute to institutionalized discrimination and what would need to happen for this to be eliminated.
Why do sociologists find it important to differentiate between sex and gender? What can be done to lessen the effects of gender stratification in the workplace? How does gender stratification harm both men and women?

WHAT GROUP OF ALGAE IS THE MOST CLOSELY RELATED TO THE VASCULAR PLANTS? WHAT SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE SUPPORTS YOUR ANSWER?
The membrane potential of a neuron is measured from the inside of the cell relative to the outside. For a newly discovered neuron with properties that are not yet known, a researcher measures that the outside of this neuron is 60 mV more positive compared to the inside. What is the membrane potential?
At the moment of fertilization a female egg is about 100μm in diameter. Assuming that each lipid molecule in the plasma membrane has a surface area of 10-14 cm2 , how many lipid molecules are there in the egg plasma membrane if 25% of the surface is protein? (3 marks)
b. Each fertilized egg cell (zygote) divides 30 times to produce all the eggs that a female child will need in her lifetime. One of these eggs will be fertilized giving rise to a new generation. If lipid molecules are never degraded, how many lipid molecules have you inherited that were synthesized in your grandmother? Assume for calculation purposes that the lipid molecules synthesized by your grandmother is equally divided between the daughter cells at each cell division.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a revolutionary method invented by Kary Mullis in the 1980s which copies the target sequence defined by a pair of primers exponentially. Can exponential amplification of any random sequence of DNA be achieved in PCR with only single primer? Hint: Refer the schematic in the diagram that represents randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker technology. You can substantiate your answer with help of this diagram, if required.
