technology generated by a production function f(x) = x2 . The production set is Y = {(y‚ −x) : y ≤ x2 } which is certainly not convex‚ but the input re√ quirement set is V (y) = {x : x ≥ y} which is a convex set. 1.2 It doesn’t change. 1.3 1 = a and 2 = b. 1.4 Let y(t) = f(tx). Then dy = dt so that 1 dy 1 = y dt f(x) 1.5 Substitute txi for i = 1‚ 2 to get f(tx1 ‚ tx2 ) = [(tx1 )ρ + (tx2 )ρ ] ρ = t[xρ + xρ ] ρ = tf(x1 ‚ x2 ). 1 2 This implies that the CES function exhibits constant returns to

several different chromosomes‚ the human genome‚ contains more than 200 clustered copies of the rRNA genes on five different chromosomes 13‚ 14‚ 15‚ 21‚ 22. Chromosomes also contain DNA-bound proteins‚ which serve to package the DNA and control its functions. During the G1 stage of the cellular cycle‚ all chromosomes must replicate themselves ready for mitosis. During the early stages of G1 each chromosome bearing rDNA repeat forms its very own NOR. The NOR have the ability to fuse together and form
