Stephen has a sarcastic sense of humor and sometimes hurts other people's feelings. He often does impressions of teachers and classmates, which his friends think are hilarious and spot-on. One morning
before the bell has rung, Stephen is immersed in a scathingly animated impression of his classmate Jon.
When Jon enters the classroom, he notices the other students crowded in a circle around Stephen; they
are rapt with attention. Jon realizes what is happening as one of the other students quickly motions to
Stephen to stop doing his impression. Stephen turns to see Jon walking toward his desk in the back of the
room. "Hey, I was only joking," Stephen says dismissively. Jon, sulking, ignores him. How do you think both
Stephen and Jon could have transformed their negative-EQ responses to this situation into positive ones?

Spherocytosis is an inherited blood disease in which the erythrocytes (red blood cells) are spherical instead of biconcave. this condition is inherited in a dominant fashion, with sph- dominant to sph+. in people with spherocytosis, the spleen "reads" the spherical red blood cells as defective, and it removes them from the bloodstream, leading to anemia. the spleen in different people removes the spherical erythrocytes with different efficiencies. some people with spherical erythrocytes suffer severe anemia and some mild anemia, yet others have spleens that function so poorly there are no symptoms of anemia at all. when 2400 people with the genotype sph- sph+ were examined, it was found that 2250 had anemia of varying severity, but 150 had no symptoms. does this description of people with spherocytosis represent incomplete penetrance, variable expressivity, or both? explain your answer.
