Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 12LTB
What features of the story on milk chocolate and heart health described in question 11 should cause you to consider the results less convincing?
- The study was sponsored by a large milk chocolate manufacturer;
- A total of 10 rats were used in the study;
- The only difference between the rats was that human participants of the experimental group received chocolate along with their regular diets, and the human participants of the control group received no additional food;
- The reporter notes that other studies indicate milk chocolate does not have a beneficial effect on heart health;
- all of the above

Please consider Figure 8.8 (attached below) in the textbook (Figure 8.7 in the 4TH edition), which contains data that were obtained by Clegg et al., is redepicted from their paper that was published in 1980, and for which information is provided on pp. 300-302 in the textbook (pp. 289-291 in the 4TH edition textbook); assess comprehensively 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. 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.

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.
