Answer to Question 1

Cultivar identification is important to establish ownership. Cultivars can be
distinguished by the flower, fruit, and vegetative parts. In addition, chemical taxonomy
and biochemistry using proteins, anthocyanins, and other chemicals can be used as
fingerprints. Another method is molecular evidence using the Polymerase Chain
Reaction (PCR) for DNA analysis.

Answer to Question 2

 KingdomPlants or animals
 Division or PhylumTracheophyta (includes most horticultural plants); other
phylums include Spermatophyta, Pteridophyta, Thallophyta, and Bryophyta
 ClassFilicinae (ferns), Gymnosperms (primarily evergreen trees; usually have
naked seeds born in cones), Angiosperms (flowering plants and seeds develop in
fruits)
 SubclassDicotyledon ae (Dicot), which has two cotyledons and reticulate leaf
venation (such as a bean plant), Monocotyledonae (Monocot), which has only one
cotyledon and parallel leaf venation (such as corn)
 Order
 Familygrouped based on natural plant relationships using structural and cultural
similarities
 Genusgrouped based on morphology and genetic, biochemical, and molecular
relationships
 Speciesgrouped with even greater refinements than genus but still based on same
relationships as in genus
 Cultivarcultivated variety (such as a Delicious apple)

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.

Alcohol acts as a diuretic. Eight ounces of water is needed to metabolize just 1 ounce of alcohol.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

Elderly adults are living longer, and causes of death are shifting. At the same time, autopsy rates are at or near their lowest in history.
