We would like to verify that this locus actually follows simple Mendelian inheritance with codominant alleles in gibbons. We have a pure breeding population of Type Jk and a pure breeding population of Type Jk". We create an F2 population and test for the antigens. Jk: 29 Jk JkP: 84 Jk: 34 Perform a chi square analysis on this data using the followng hypothesis The mode of inheritance for the Kidd blood group in gibbons is simple Mendelian with codominant alleles. Calculate the chi square value and place it in the space below. Round to three decimal places. Answer

A study indicates that CB radio use speeds up activity in the brain. As part of a randomized crossover study, 36 participants were fitted with a CB radio device on each ear and then underwent two positron emission topography, or PET, scans to measure brain glucose metabolism. During one scan, the CB radios were both turned off. During the other scan, an automated 40- minute muted signal was sent to the radio on the right ear. The order of when the signal was received (for the first or second scan) was randomized. Comparison of the PET scans showed a minor increase in activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna during the transmission of the automated signal. Was this an observational study or an experiment? Explain why. O The study is an observational study because the reseashers cannot control the response variable during the signal. O The study is an observational study because the researchers only observe values of the response and explanatory variables. O The study is…
Based on advancements in drug therapy, a pharmaceutical company is developing Resithan, a new treatment for depression. A medical researcher for the company is studying the effectiveness of Resithan as compared to their existing drug, Exemor. A random sample of 461 depressed individuals is selected and treated with Resithan, and 172 find relief from their depression. A random sample of 419 depressed individuals is independently selected from the first sample and treated with Exemor, and 121 find relief from their depression. Based on the medical researcher's study can we conclude, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the proportion p1 of all depressed individuals taking Resithan who find relief from depression is greater than the proportion p2 of all depressed individuals taking Exemor who find relief from depression? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as…
A crop researcher investigated the phenotypes that resulted from crossing two different types of cucumber plants. There are 4 possible resulting phenotypes (numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 in the data table below). Mendel's laws of genetic inheritance ('the model') suggest that the proportions should be 9/16, 3/16, 3/16 and 1/16 for phenotypes 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively. The classification of a sample of 1400 observations is given below together with the proportions suggested by Mendel's laws of inheritance (the model). Give the degrees of freedom that would be used in a test of whether or not the crossing results in a population that follows Mendel's laws of inheritance. Degrees of freedom =
The improved crop varieties are evaluated at farmers fields before their release for a large scale production. The claim made by a chickpea breeder is that, on average, her improved variety produces higher yield of chickpea compared to the local variety grown by farmers in her region. To examine her claim, the improved variety of chickpea was evaluated at 25 randomly selected farmer-fields (farms) in that region. Each field was divided into two parts, one part of the field was randomly assigned to the improved variety to be grown under a crop management practice recommended for this variety, and the other part to the local variety with an ongoing practice followed for it. You may note there were 25 different fields and the two varieties were grown within each of them. The chickpea yields of the two varieties were measured, in kg per hectare, from each of the fields. The following R- code outputs contain the information that you may use to answer the questions. The data vectors,…

A study was conducted that investigated the gene ACTN3, which encodes a protein that functions in fast-twitch muscle fibres. People can be classified according to which genotype of this gene they have, RR, RX or XX. The study included a sample of elite sprinters and a sample of endurance athletes. The researchers are investigating whether there is an association between the genotype classification and the type of athlete (sprinters or endurance). Observed counts XX RX RR Total Endurance 55 49 30 134 Sprinters 49 95 50 194 Total 104 144 80 328 The observed test statistic was 9.38 (2dp) and the associated p-value was 0.009192 (6dp). Make a decision and conclusion for this hypothesis test in context. Use a significance level of 1% (α = 0.01).
Sickle-cell anemia is a hereditary chronic blood disease that is extremely severe when an individual carries two copies of the defective gene. It is particularly common in countries plagued by malaria, a parasiticinfection transmitted by mosquitoes. A study in Africa tested 543 children for the sickle-cell gene and also for malaria. In Group 1 which consisted of 136 children with the sickle-cell gene, 36 children had severe malariainfections. Group 2 consisted of 407 children without the sickle-cell gene, and 152 of them had severe malaria infections. Conduct a test to determine if the proportion of severe malaria infections among children withthe sickle-cell trait is different from that among children without. Test at 5% level of significance.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common eyedisease among the elderly that can lead to partial or total lossof vision. It is well known that smoking and excessive weighttend to be associated with higher incidence rates of AMD.More recently, however, several genes have been found tobe associated with AMD as well. One gene that has beenconsidered is the Y402H gene. There are three genotypesfor the Y402H gene—TT, TC, and CC. The relationshipbetween AMD and the Y402H genotype is as follows: Y402H AMD=yes AMD=no TT (wild type) 41 380 YC 119 527 CC 121 278 Total 281 1185 (1) What is the relative risk for AMD for the CC genotype compared with the TT genotype?
