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.

A researcher believes that tomato variety has an effect on the yield response to side-dressed nitrogen. To account for this, the researcher grows two seedlings from each of the 10 tomato varieties. One seedling of each variety gets side-dressed nitrogen and the other receives no side-dressing. In this study, the observation for each variety in a sample is matched with the observation for the same variety in the other sample. Suppose the researcher intends to compare the two groups of tomato varieties.
What is the unit of interest and variable of interest? What is the appropriate test procedure in comparing the two groups (with and without side dressing)?

The null hypothesis is that the offspring occur in frequencies that correspond the inheritance of a recessive lethal allele at the Y gene and two incompletely dominant alleles at the B gene. Answer the following questions to address this request: a. What are the degrees of freedom for this test? Write your answer here: b. Assuming a p-value cut-off of 0.05, what is the critical value that you will use to evaluate your hypothesis? You will need to refer to table 3.7 in your book or in the slides.

Upon enrollment in the study, 1,232 adult participants were asked to report whether they had ever smoked more than one pack of cigarettes in the lifetimes. The participants were then examined for the development of CAD once a year for the following twenty years. Examinations found 106 cases of CAD among the 368 participants who had never smoked and 419 cases of CAD among the 864 participants who had ever smoked. 6) What type of study design was used? Explain. 7) Set up the 2X2 contingency table for the data. 8) For this type of study design, what is the appropriate measure to describe the strength of the association between the exposure and the disease? 9) Calculate the measure identified in question 8. 10) Interpret the measure calculated in question 9.arrow_forward

- 6. You are studying the genetic distribution of traits in badgers. For this particular experiment, you are interested in how sharp their teeth are and how soft their fur is. You perform a dihybrid cross of the F2 generation and come up with 36 individuals in 4 groups born at around the same time. You are wondering whether the genes for teeth sharpness (TS) and fur softness (FS) are linked. You perform a x analysis to test your hypothesis and come up with a x=6.035. The critical value in the x distribution is 7.815 at a p=0.05. (A) Write out the phenotypes of the 4 groups. (B) df= ? (C) State your null hypothesis.
