You are testing whether or not there is a difference between the weights of healthy mice, and those infected with the mouse equivalent of COVID-19. You notice that the sick mice tend to have lower weight. To see if this is statistically significant, you run a t-test. What are your null and alternative hypotheses? Choose the best answer. O a. Null: Slck mice have lower weights than healthy mice; Alternative: There is no difference between the groups O b. Null: There is no difference between the groups; Alternative: There is a difference between the groups O c. Null: Sick mice have higher weights than healthy mice; Alternative: Sick mice have lower weights than healthy mice O d. There is no difference between the groups; Alternative: Sick mice have higher weights than healthy mice

At generation 0, the populations were characterised by D = -1 or D = 1.ii. The D value changes could have resulted from processes including crossing over during meiosis.iii. The D values changed by the factor (1- r) each generation.iv. At generation 0, the populations were characterised by D = -0.25 or D = 0.25.v. At generation 0, the populations were characterised by extreme values, representing complete linkage disequilibrium. Question 1 options:…

Please consider Figures, 10.28, and Table 10.2 (attached), which contain data that were collected by Delph and Lively, are redepicted from their paper that was published in 1989, and for which information is provided on pp. 391-383 in the textbook (pp. 385-388 in the 4TH edition textbook); assess the lowercase-Roman-numeral-labelled statements that appear immediately below; and click the uppercase-letter-labelled response that is presented below and conveys the most accurate information. i. Germinated pollen grains in Fuchsia excorticata grow tubes that extend from the stigma, through the style, to the ovary, where one sperm unites with one egg; this requires approximately 3 days. ii. Before a Fuchsia excorticata flower can detach from the tree, an abscission zone must be developed; this typically requires 1.5 days. iii. Colour change in Fuchsia excorticata probably evolved as an adaptation to the physiologically constraining 4.5 days that are required for fertilisation and abscission…

A COVID-19 test, which produce result in 10 minutes, has the following test characteristics. The test has a 95% sensitivity and a 95% specificity. The State of Massachusetts is in dilemma whether to test symptomatic individuals or the entire residents to decrease the spread of infection as depicted in the following two scenarios. Scenario A. The State of Massachusetts wants to administer the test on 40,000 individuals who will develop cough, fever and shortness of breath in the next 10 days to identify COVID-19 infected individuals and institute public health measures. The estimated prevalence of COVID-19 in this population is 750 per 1,000 population using a gold-standard test. Scenario B. The State of Massachusetts wants to administer the test to its entire COVID-19 uninfected population (6,750,000). The estimated prevalence of COVID-19 in this population is 5 per 1,000 population using a gold-standard test. Please help the State of Massachusetts by responding to the…
