Feeding Information for Boarded PetsThe table above shows the kinds of...
Choice B is correct. There are 2 dogs that are fed only dry food and a total of 25 dogs. Therefore, the fraction of dogs fed only dry food is 2/25.
Choice A is incorrect. This fraction is the number of dogs fed only dry food divided by the total number of pets instead of the total number of dogs. Choice C is incorrect because it is the fraction of all pets fed only dry food. Choice D is incorrect. This fraction is the number of dogs fed only dry food divided by the total number of pets fed only dry food.

Choose that option if you think the best choice is to leave the relevant portion of the passage as it is.Question are based on the following passage.The Promise of Bio-InformaticsAlthough scientists have always been interested in data, modern biologists are increasingly becoming “information scientists.” Biological information science is the study of how chemical signals govern life processes. The most familiar biomolecular code is of course DNA, (1)serving as the chemical compound for the blueprint of life. Another biochemical code tells a fertilized egg how to differentiate into scores of unique cell types— heart, muscle, bone, nerve, gland, (2)blood—that assemble themselves into organs, which in turn assemble themselves into a complex organism.Yet another code governs (3) how the immune system “reads” the chemical signatures of invading pathogens and then manufactures specialized attack cells to fight infections.(4) Today we are seeing dramatic progress in all three of these areas of biochemistry. The science of genomics is developing better, cheaper, and faster ways to decode our DNA, and doctors are becoming more (5) apropos at using this information to create “personalized medicine.” Other researchers are learning how to turn the most rudimentary human cells, “stem cells,” into specialized tissues (6) for helping to repair damaged human organs. And oncologists—cancer specialists—are now coming to understand how the human immune system can be decoded to provide a crucial weapon against the most dangerous tumors.7 In particular, the success of these new biological technologies (8) depends on our ability in translating vast quantities of chemical information into digital form. Specialized software and hardware (9) is needed to be developed to turn biochemical data into information that doctors and researchers can use to streamline research and make patients lives better. Fortunately, the progress has so far been good. Since the Human Genome Project was completed in 2003, the National Human Genome Research Institute has monitored the cost of decoding a single human-sized genome. A famous law in computer science, known as “Moores Law,” says that the cost of processing a given quantity of information should decline by 50% every two years or so. In fact, with “second generation” sequencing techniques developed in 2008, (10) far more people have been able to take advantage of genome decoding.This integration of medicine and information technology is perhaps todays most promising scientific development. Using these new resources, perhaps (11) treatments and even cures for the most intractable diseases can be discovered by researchers.Q. (8)

After racking your brain for hours to solve a problem, you finally put it aside and move on to other things. Then, much later, seemingly out of(1) nowhere, perhapswhile showering or driving—the answer suddenly strikes you. Psychologists call this the “Eureka effect,” from the ancient Greek word meaning “I have found it,”(2) which Archimides is said to have shoutedas he ran naked from his bathtub through the streets of Syracuse upon suddenly solving a vexing physics problem.Does this feeling arise from our emotional centers or our cognitive centers? In other words, is it simply an emotional response to finding a solution, or does it(3) foretella fundamentally different way of thinking? Psychologists have tried to answer this question by looking inside subjects brains as they solve problems, using electroencephalograms (EEGs) and other tools.In one(4) experiment, subjectsperformed a word association task, scientists measured the activity in the region of the brain called the right hemisphere anterior superior temporal gyrus (RH aSTG). This region is known to be active in tasks, such as finding a theme in a story,(5) that requires integrating and bringing togetherinformation from many distant parts of the brain, but is not particularly active in emotional responses.The subjects were asked to perform a challenging verbal association task, press a button as soon as(6) solving it,and report whether or not they felt the “Aha!” feeling. If they did, the response was classified as an “insight” solution. If they did not, it was classified as a “non-insight” solution.(7) What was interesting, experimenters found that the insight solutions were accompanied by an elevated level of “gamma band” activity in the RH aSTG, supporting the theory that the feeling(8) had correspondedto a cognitive process rather than purely an emotional one.(9)Interpreting(10) this data isnot a very simple matter, however. Many questions remain to be answered. For instance, does the increased gamma-band activity represent a transition of cognitive processing from an unconscious state to a conscious one?(11) If that is true, a question would be what are the unconscious processes that are working? Also, in what way do those processes become conscious all of a sudden?Q. (6)

Question is based on the following passage.This passage is adapted from Daniel Chamovitz, What a Plant Knows: A Field Guide to the Senses. ©2012 by Daniel Chamovitz.The Venus flytrap [Dionaea muscipula] needs toknow when an ideal meal is crawling across its leaves.Closing its trap requires a huge expense of energy,and reopening the trap can take several hours, so5 Dionaea only wants to spring closed when it’s surethat the dawdling insect visiting its surface is largeenough to be worth its time. The large black hairs ontheir lobes allow the Venus flytraps to literally feeltheir prey, and they act as triggers that spring the10 trap closed when the proper prey makes its wayacross the trap. If the insect touches just one hair, thetrap will not spring shut; but a large enough bug willlikely touch two hairs within about twenty seconds,and that signal springs the Venus flytrap into action.15 We can look at this system as analogous toshort-term memory. First, the flytrap encodes theinformation (forms the memory) that something (itdoesn’t know what) has touched one of its hairs.Then it stores this information for a number of20seconds (retains the memory) and finally retrievesthis information (recalls the memory) once a secondhair is touched. If a small ant takes a while to getfrom one hair to the next, the trap will have forgottenthe first touch by the time the ant brushes up against25the next hair. In other words, it loses the storage ofthe information, doesn’t close, and the anthappily meanders on. How does the plant encodeand store the information from the unassumingbug’s encounter with the first hair? How does it30 remember the first touch in order to react upon thesecond?Scientists have been puzzled by these questionsever since John Burdon-Sanderson’s early report onthe physiology of the Venus flytrap in 1882. A35 century later, Dieter Hodick and Andreas Sievers atthe University of Bonn in Germany proposed thatthe flytrap stored information regarding how manyhairs have been touched in the electric charge of itsleaf. Their model is quite elegant in its simplicity.40In their studies, they discovered that touching atrigger hair on the Venus flytrap causes an electricaction potential [a temporary reversal in theelectrical polarity of a cell membrane] thatinduces calcium channels to open in the trap (this45coupling of action potentials and the opening ofcalcium channels is similar to the processes thatoccur during communication between humanneurons), thus causing a rapid increase in theconcentration of calcium ions.50They proposed that the trap requires a relativelyhigh concentration of calcium in order to closeand that a single action potential from just onetrigger hair being touched does not reach this level.Therefore, a second hair needs to be stimulated to55push the calcium concentration over this thresholdand spring the trap. The encoding of the informationrequires maintaining a high enough level of calciumso that a second increase (triggered by touching thesecond hair) pushes the total concentration of60calcium over the threshold. As the calcium ionconcentrations dissipate over time, if the secondtouch and potential don’t happen quickly, the finalconcentration after the second trigger won’t be highenough to close the trap, and the memory is lost.65Subsequent research supports this model.Alexander Volkov and his colleagues at OakwoodUniversity in Alabama first demonstrated that it isindeed electricity that causes the Venus flytrap toclose. To test the model they rigged up very fine70electrodes and applied an electrical current to theopen lobes of the trap. This made the trap closewithout any direct touch to its trigger hairs (whilethey didn’t measure calcium levels, the currentlikely led to increases). When they modified this75experiment by altering the amount of electricalcurrent, Volkov could determine the exact electricalcharge needed for the trap to close. As long asfourteen microcoulombs—a tiny bit more than thestatic electricity generated by rubbing two balloons80together—flowed between the two electrodes, thetrap closed. This could come as one large burst or asa series of smaller charges within twenty seconds. If ittook longer than twenty seconds to accumulate thetotal charge, the trap would remain open.Q. Which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the previous question?
