A researcher is examining the relationship between stress levels and performance on a test of cognitive performance. She hypothesizes that stress levels lead to an increase in performance to a point, and then increased stress decreases performance. She tests 10 participants who have the following levels of stress: 10.94 12.76 7.62 8.17 7.83 12.22 9.23 11.17 11.88 8.18 When she tests their levels of mental performance, she finds the following cognitive performance scores (listed in the same participant order as above): 5.24 4.64 4.68 5.04 4.17 6.20 4.54 6.55 5.79 3.17 Perform a linear regression to examine the relationship between these variables. What do the results mean?

Roughly 30% of harvested cantaloupesare wasted because they become overripebefore reaching consumers. Agricultural scientistshave used genetic engineering to insert an applegene into the cantaloupe genome to produce atransgenic (GM) cantaloupe that ripens more slowlyafter harvesting. Is this approach less desirablethan the marker-assisted breeding describedabove? Why or why not?

The following are three possible combinations of DNAcharacteristics that may be found in an individual’sgenetic profile. Using the product rule, rank each ofthese combinations of DNA characteristics from mostcommon to least common. The number after each characteristic indicates its percentage distribution in thepopulation.a.

In a Continent Island model with two populations (one on the continent and one on the island), the island population has a gene frequency of pi = 0.4 for a particular allele, and the continent population has a gene frequency of pc = 0.6 for the same allele. If the migration rate from the continent to the island is m = 0.1, what will be the gene frequency of the allele in the island population after migration has occurred (pi')? (recall: pi' = mpc + (1 - m)pi) a) 0.00 < pe < 0.25 b) 0.25 < pe < 0.50 c) 0.50 < pe < 0.75 d) 0.75 < pe < 1.00

(22) A 35- year old woman and her 35-year old husband come to the physician for genetic counselling after their son is diagnosed with a rare metabolic disease. The carrier frequency of this disorder in the general population is 1 of 100.

I need help deteriming which are analogous or secondary lost traits based on the given chart?
I believe that the correct answer is: p^2+2pq+q^2=1 I just want to make sure that I am understanding the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium correctly.
A graduate student is studying a population of bluebonnets along aroadside. The plants in this population are genetically variable. Shecounts the seeds produced by each of 100 plants and measures the meanand variance of seed number. The variance is 20. Selecting one plant,the student takes cuttings from it and cultivates them in a greenhouse,eventually producing many genetically identical clones of the sameplant. She then transplants these clones into the roadside population,allows them to grow for one year, and then counts the seeds produced byeach of the cloned plants. The student finds that the variance in seednumber among these cloned plants is 5. From the phenotypic variancesof the genetically variable and the genetically identical plants, shecalculates the broad-sense heritability.
I'm needing help with part 1 through 3, please The data of Sugar Water and Plain Water: mean # of drops variance degrees of freedom t stat t crit (from the table) plain water 25.3 17.221 38 -4.01 2.0261 sugar water 21.3 21.256 1. Make a statement about t stat in relation to t crit. And what is the p-value? 2. Is there a statistically significant difference between the mean values (mean # of drops) of the sugar and plain water? Give your "yes" or "no" answer and the supporting evidence. 3. Hypothesis: The surface tension of plain water is higher than the surface tension of sugar water. Do these results support or refute the hypothesis about the effect of dissolving salt in water on surface tension?
