Heredity. Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) made discoveries that revolutionized the science of genetics. In one experiment he crossed dihybrid yellow round peas (yellow and round are dominant characteristics; the peas also contained genes for the recessive characteristics green and wrinkled) and obtained peas of the types indicated in the matrix:
Suppose he carried out a second experiment of the same type and obtained peas of the types indicated in this matrix:
If the results of the two experiments are combined, discuss matrix multiplication methods that can be used to find the following quantities. State the matrices that can be used and perform the necessary operations.
(A) The total number of peas in each category.
(B) The total number of peas in all four categories.
(C) The percentage of peas in each category

- An experimenter was interested in the effects of three types of therapy and gender on a measure of quality of life. She designed the experiment so that the male subjects were randomly assigned to the different therapies and the female subjects were also randomly assigned to the different therapies. The type of therapy was experimentally manipulated and after six months the outcome was measured. A two-factor design was used. How many independent variables are there in this design? Name each factor (using appropriate descriptors from the paragraph) How many total groups (cells) are there in this design? Name the dependent variable:arrow_forwardA survey was conducted in 1990 asking American high school students to name their favorite subject in school. This survey found that, in 1990, the following proportions of students named each subject as their favorite: 30% History, 25% Math, 20% English, 15% Biology, 10% Chemistry. A researcher in the year 2020 conducts an identical survey, in order to see if students’ favorite subjects have shifted over the 30 years that have passed since the 1990 study was done. The researcher gives the survey to n=60 high school students, and gets the following observed frequencies and expected frequencies.

If this is the result of a single gene system, then the proportions of offspring in the three phenotypes should be 0.25, 0.50, and 0.25 respectively. In one such experiment, 93 chickens were born. 20 had normal feathers, 50 had slightly curly feathers, and 23 had very curly feathers. Carry out a test to determine whether the genetic model seems to hold in this setting.arrow_forwardA dairy farmer thinks that the average weight gain of his cows depends on two factors: the type of grain that they are fed and the type of grass that they are fed. The dairy farmer has four different types of grain from which to choose and three different types of grass from which to choose. He would like to determine if there is a particular combination of grain and grass that would lead to the greatest weight gain on average for his cows. He randomly selects three one-year-old cows and assigns them to each of the possible combinations of grain and grass. After one year he records the weight gain for each cow (in pounds) with the following results. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant difference in the average weight gains among the cows for the different types of grain?

- In Figure 11.5, we show three combinations of main effects and interactions for a 2 X 2 factorial design. Using the same 2 X 2 structure, with factor A defining the rows and factor B defining the columns, create a set of means that produce each of the following patterns: The main effect for factors A and B, but no interaction. The main effect for factor A and interaction, but no main effect for factor B.

Each offspring will receive one gene for each of the two traits from each parent, so the biologists predict that the following phenotypes should occur in a ratio of 9:3:3:1. Phenotype Frequency Red eyes and Red eyes and straight wings curly wings 99 42 White eyes and straight wings 49 White eyes and curly wings 10 Use a chi-square goodness-of-fit test to compute a test statistic and P-value. At the a = 0.05 significance level, what can be concluded about the proposed genetic model? Because the P-value of 0.1029 > 0.05, we cannot reject the null hypothesis. We do not have convincing evidence that the distribution of eye color and wing shape is different from what the biologists predict. Because the P-value of 0.5177 > 0.05, we cannot reject the null…arrow_forwardSuppose we are recording the lap times of 20 runners in a race and the race is of 12 laps in the race. .
