There is a set of commercially available DNA markers, which were associated with increased meat quality in 2001. A recent study tested the meat quality of about 200 individuals tested for those markers and found no effect of the markers on the carcass quality of the animal s evaluated. How do you explain that?

Imagine that you wish to compare two types of feed that will be fed to laying chickens kept in two different chicken pens on the same farm. Both types of feed are made of the same grains, but come in two forms - pellets and crumbles. Pellets are the standard feed you have been using, but you believe crumbles will be digested more efficiently, and result in chickens laying more eggs. You set up an experiment. In your experiment you keep all other factors, such as the number of chickens per pen, the age of the chickens, the amount of food and water, and the type of chicken (all are Rhode Island Reds) the same. The chickens in Pen A are given pellets, and the chickens in Pen B are given crumbles. a. What is your hypothesis? b. What is your prediction? c. What will you be measuring to test your hypothesis? d. What is the independent variable? e. What is the dependent variable? f. What variables are being controlled? g.
