Tracking number on Request On the request, the is a unique tracking number for each line item (LIN) in this transaction. This number must be unique over all time, and is assigned by the sender of the request transactions. Initiated by LDC This transaction can only be initiated by the LDC. The customer will need to contact the LDC to trigger the move process. No ESP Response Upon receipt of the EDI 814 Move from the LDC the ESP will not send a response transaction back to the LDC. Information Provided When the LDC the Move to the ESP, it will contain the new account number, service address, meter information, etc. as applicable in each segment’s gray box. One Account per 814 One customer account per 814. Multiple LINs For the Move transaction, there may only be one LIN per account per 814. LDC Definitions: The term LDC (Local Distribution Company) in this document refers to the utility. Each state may refer to the utility by a different acronym: EDC – Electric Distribution Company (Pennsylvania) ESP Definitions: The term ESP (Energy Service Provider) in this document refers to the supplier.

CHAPTER 1 The Genetics Revolution 3 Which of three major groups (domains) of life in Figure 1-11 is not represented by a model organism? Answer: Archaea Figure 1-13b the human chromosomes in a single cell. The green dots show the location of a gene called BAPX1. Is the cell in this figure a sex cell (gamete)? Explain your answer. Answer: It is not a sex cell. Cloned BAPXI gene has hybridized to two chromosomes in the cell, indicating there are two copies of the BAPXI gene. If it were a gamete, it would have only one copy of each chromosome and of the BAPXI gene. Figure 1-15 shows the family tree or pedigree for Louise Benge (Individual VI-1) who suffers from the disease ACDC because she has two mutant copies of the CD73 gene. She has four siblings (VI- 2, VI-3, VI-4, and VI-5) who have this disease for the same reason. Do all the 10 children of Louise and her siblings have the same number of mutant copies of the CD73 gene, or might this number be different for some of the 10 children? Answer: All 10 children have one mutant copy of the CD73 gene. Children get one CD73 copy from mom and one from their dad. Since Louise and her four siblings each carry two defective genes, all their children will get one mutant CD73 copy. BASIC QUESTIONS Below is the sequence of a single strand of a short DNA molecule. On a piece of paper, rewrite this sequence and then write the sequence of the complementary strand below it. GTTCGCGGCCGCGAAC Comparing the top and bottom strands, what do you notice the relationship between them? Answer: GTTCGCGGCCGCGAAC CAAGCGCCGGCGCTTG They are complementary to each other and run in the opposite direction (antiparallel). The sequences are also palindromic; they read the same in either direction. Mendel studied a tall variety of pea plants with stems that are 20 cm long and a dwarf variety with stems that are only 12 cm long. Under blending theory, how long would you expect the stems of first and second hybrids to be? Under Mendelian rules, what would you expect to observe in the second-generation hybrids if all the first-generation hybrids were tall?

bequeathed to them. Ndi Igbo should be aware that Igbo traditional heritage is world heritage, because world civilization started in Igbo land. As such they should prepare themselves for the a new surge of interest in Igbo language and culture that will see Igbo citizens at home and abroad around the world being called upon to teach and share aspects of this heritage (tangible and intangible) with other citizens of the world. This is without prejudice to the fact that everything we have so far studied suggests that Igbo civilization was actually programmed for extinction by the colonists. Many do not know that the colonialists found ten step-pyramids, each the size of a single storey building in Abaja, Nsude in Nsukka region of Igbo land, but made sure that they were not entered into any existing official records, and that they were subsequently destroyed and forgotten. The discovery of these step-pyramids (plate 3) adds to our pile of proofs that original Egypt was ancient Nigeria, part of which was known as ‘Median Biafra’ in ancient maps of the world, and Igbo Ukwu was its sacred capital. Colonial linguists have posited that the Igbo, along with the Yoruba, Igala, Ashanti, Idoma, Ijaw, Edo and a host of other West African tribes, are under the Proto-Kwa linguistic family group, which means that it was their collective ancestors that founded the ancient Kushite civilization, for Kwa is short for Akwa in Akwa Nshi. Professor Adiele Afigbo insisted that Kwa was a Mega Igbo civilization. We think our work has amply demonstrated that he was right. Afigbo’s thesis is that the Mega Igbo phenomenon was the cultural hub (navel) of West African civilizations. We cannot agree more because after all, as the Median of ancient world maps, Biafra was the ‘Navel of the Earth’! The Bantu tribes who migrated from ancient Nigeria, two millennia ago, we also from the Kwa linguistic and cultural family group. The fact that the Bantu tribes, which actually make up three fourths of Sub-Saharan Africa, were also of ancient Nigerian cultural,

English coast for an episode of The F Word, the scene had been faked. This month, the operators of the Richard & Judy premium rate TV quiz were hit with a record fine of £150,000 for a phone-in scandal. Viewers had been urged to call in to the competition even though the shortlist of winners was closed. QUESTIONS: Summarise the article in 50-100 words. Write a letter of complaint to Bear Grylls about the faking of parts of his show. *Use the article to inform what you complain about. *Set your writing out like a letter. *Write in an appropriate formal tone. 3. Use the grade descriptors to mark your work, set yourself a target for your next piece of revision. TURN A TEXT INTO AN INTERVIEW/ DIALOGUE Alex Brooker: Don't get hung up being PC.
