Understanding the role, for example, of accessory, or supernumerary chromosomes, as opposed to the core, invariant gene repertoire of the genome will be key (McDonald et al., 2015).
Genetically modified macrophages differentiated from human iPS cells can serve as a useful model for understanding the etiology of, for example, macrophage-tropic HIV-1 disease, and facilitating the development of novel therapeutic interventions.
In providing guidance for how we can leverage technology to design embodied experiences for mathematical understanding, the examples that we provided are intended to illustrate the possibilities and the constraints involved, but we acknowledge that there are other design approaches and technologies that can be used.
For example, understanding the dances of cells, molecules, and atoms allows us to make strides developing important technologies in areas like medicine and mobile communications; however, the same understanding also provides detailed insight into the dramatic impact that our modern lifestyles has on the planet and its atmosphere.
Understanding the detail of, for example, racist and bigoted assumptions, and how easily they can be made appealing, can prevent me from being bigoted, even towards bigots.
Finally, the B2 level learners are capable of understanding more complex texts and expressing themselves on more technical topics, for example, understanding the main point of a newspaper article or explaining opinions supported by reasons.
For example, understanding the way that particular pathogenic viruses or bacteria spread can shed light on the severity of the symptoms that evolved to be associated with the infection.
For example, understanding the differences between the vast majority of users (i.e. humanity) and smaller subsets of people, whose activities are captured in big datasets, is critical to correct analysis of the data.
Questions focus on factual information related to evolution, for example understanding the age of the Earth or identifying the core concepts associated with natural selection (Rutledge and Warden 2000).
