You are now deciding on resources for a project team. You have a choice to staff a team of resources who will be dedicated (or allocated) 100% to the project, or staff a team of resources who will be dedicated (or allocated) part time to your project; however, they will dedicate 100% to the activities you assigned them. Using information from the readings, which set of resources will you choose? Or, will you choose a combination of both? Why?

Respond

In the determination of resources for project team, it is important to consider time, cost and skills required to accomplish the project. Looking at assigning  activities to the staff, whether full time or part time depends on these three constraints. A full time  dedicated  staff may take  a longer time and cost less  but  would equally need some  professional skills to finish the task  within a specific time or else delay will set in. In this case, a project manager can split  the project and assign the needed task to part time staff because there have interchangeable skills that can contribute to the project of the organization . 

I think from the project point of view, it is better to choose a combination of both staff  team of resources at 100%; that is, assigning them with the part time to complete the project. This is because grouping task assignments will help to measure cost base line and performance as well as shorten the schedule of task duration. The project manager also will be able to determine and quantify the allocated time and responsibilities given to the project team.

Name two (2) similarities and two (2) differences between mitosis and meiosis I and II. Next state three (3) benefits of genetic variation which result from meiosis. Which benefit do you believe is most significant? Justify your response.

Respond

Two similarities of Mitosis and Meiosis: Two ways by which cells reproduce, Both produce fresh new cells based on their parent cells’ genes

Two differences of Mitosis and Meiosis: Mitosis takes place all over the body, while meiosis only takes place in the sex organs and produces sex cellls, each cell has half the genetic material of its parent.

Three benefits of genetic variation which result from meiosis: Meiosis produces gametes which are sperm cells, Meiosis shuffles regions of DNA between homologous chromosomes, Meiosis generates genetic diversity.

The production of sperm cells is the most significant in my opinion so that male and female can together to reproduce.
