Running OUT OF TIME: ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS
BELOW
Read the beginning of a journal article (Abstract,
Introduction, and first two paragraphs of the results of a paper
entitled: "Structural variants in genes
associated with human Williams-Beuren syndrome underlie
stereotypical hypersociability in domestic
dogs".)
1. The third paragraph in the introduction begins "Here,
we focus on sociability.....".
This paragraph says:
2. In your own words, explain what was it about this
region that made them think it might contain genes that make dogs
more likely to interact with humans than wolves.
3. The third paragraph in the introduction begins "Here,
we focus on sociability.....".
That same paragraph (3rd paragraph of the
Introductions), says that the authors became interested in the
genes in this region after they did genome-wide association study
(GWAS) comparing the SNPs of dogs and wolves.
Based on what you learned about SNPs and GWAS in Module
10, which of the following best describes what the authors observed
about the SNPs that made them think that this region might have
genes related to hypersociability in dogs?
Group of answer choices
4. The first paragraph of Results describes an
experiment where dogs and wolves were compared for "attentional
bias toward social stimuli and independent problem-solving
performance (independent physical cognition)."
Which of the following best describes what the
scientists were measuring in this experiment?
Group of answer choices
5. The basic conclusion of the paper is mentioned in the
Abstract, the Introduction, and in the title of this
article.
In your own words, using regular English, state what the
authors found in this study.
