1. According to a certain Mendelian genetic model, self-pollination of pink-flowered plants should produce progeny that are red, pink, and white in the ratio 1:2:1. A geneticist self-pollinated pink-flowered snapdragon plants and produced 234 progeny with 54 red, 122 pink and 58 white flowered plants. To test if these numbers indeed follow the model ratio, what should be an appropriate null hypothesis?
A. P(Red) = 54/234, P(Pink) = 122/234, P(White) = 58/234.
B. P(Red) = 54%, P(Pink) = 122%, P(White) = 58%.
C. P(Red) = 1, P(Pink) = 2, P(White) = 1.
D. P(Red) = 0.25, P(Pink) = 0.5, P(White) = 0.25.
2. What would be the degree of freedom for an appropriate test?
A. 3
B. 2
C. 1
D. 0
3. If we fail to reject the null hypothesis at 0.05 significance level, what do you conclude?
A. The self-pollinated plants of the geneticist do not follow the ratio 1:2:1 and this validates the model.
B. The self-pollinated plants of the…
Dogs are inbred for such desirable characteristics as blue eye color; but an unfortunate by-product of such inbreeding can be the emergence of characteristics such as deafness. A 1992 study of Dalmatians (by Strain and others, as reported in The Dalmatians Dilemma) found the following:
(i)
31% of all Dalmatians have blue eyes.
(ii)
38% of all Dalmatians are deaf.
(iii)
42% of blue-eyed Dalmatians are deaf.
Based on the results of this study is "having blue eyes" independent of "being deaf"?
No, since .31 * .38 is not equal to .42.
No, since .38 is not equal to .42.
No, since .31 is not equal to .42.
Yes, since .31 * .38 is not equal to .42.
Yes, since .38 is not equal to .42.

In birds, wingspan is determined by two genes, one with complete dominance of one allele over theother, one with additive effects. Birds with genotype aabb has 16 cm long wingspan, whereas those with AABB has 20 cm long wingspan. A cross between AABB and aabb parents produced F1 with19cm wingspan. Crossing the F1s produced F2 with the following phenotypes (in cm):
20.0 19.6 18.3 20.0 19.1 18.7 18.2 17.316.0 19.2 17.8 18.4 19.3 19.5 20.0 19.7
NOTE: write the formula and the final answer
a. Mean of the data
b. Variance of the data
c. Standard deviation
d. According to these data, which wingspans are within one standard deviation of the mean?

- Human blood types are classified by three gene forms A, B, and O. Blood types AA, BB, and OO are homozygous, and blood types AB, AO, and BO are heterozygous. If p, q, and r represent the proportions of the three gene forms to the popula-tion, respectively, then the Hardy-Weinberg Law asserts that the proportion Q of heterozygous persons in any specific population is modeled by Q(p, q, r) = 2(pq + pr + qr), subject to p + q + r = 1.

The host tells him that from a total of ten bottles of that wine, six came from the north vineyard and four came from the south vineyard. From this information, the merchant concludes that he should visit the north vineyard for a sample of the grapes. Later, he discovers that the wine in question came from a bottle labeled Classic Reserve, and 30 of 100 barrels of north vineyard wine were bottled with that label, while 130 of 200 barrels of south vineyard wine were bottled with that label. Given this new information, what is the probability that the wine came from the north vineyard? (Hint: For this exercise, use Bayes's theorem.)arrow_forward
