Summary Introduction

To determine: The kind of experiment that would be used to test whether the correlation both within and among species between two allometrically related traits is due to natural selection or due to developmental genetic constraints.

Introduction: Allometric growth means the differential growth rate of an organism’s different dimensions or parts during its ontogeny. For example, the head of a human grows at a slower rate during postnatal growth than the legs that grows at a faster rate.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The inference about the underlying genetic architecture of traits whose allometric relationships do not vary.

Q8. A researcher wants to study the effectiveness of a pill intended to reduce stomach heartburn in pregnant women. The researcher chooses randomly 400 women to participate in this experiment for 9 months of their pregnancy period. They all need to have the same diet. The researcher designs two groups of 200 participants: One group take the real medication intended to reduce heartburn, while the other group take placebo medication. In this study what are: Independent variable: Dependent variable: Control variable: Experimental group: " Control group: If the participants do not know who is consuming the real pills and who is consuming the sugar pills. This study is It happens that 40% of the participants do not find the treatment helpful and drop out after 6 months. The researcher throws out the data from subjects that drop out. What type of bias is there in this study? If the company who makes the medication funds this research, what type of bias might exist in this research work?
