The results of the statistical comparison of genetic variability between the wild and founding population suggests that because the assumption figure is less than 0.5 (see table 2) the null hypothesis could not be dismissed. This meant that there is was no difference between the wild and founding population’s genetic variability. In relation to conservation biology, this finding is rather optimistic. Due to the fact that the two populations genetic variability is close to one-another allows for…

Hardy­Weinberg Law Given the mathematical and statistical methods used already, this law also uses probability, however is represented in a graphical manner. Through this graph I will determine if the class data set has significant variation on an allele by genotype graph by comparing their points to the collection of data sets from Census at School that will represent in this paper as the Canadian average. The Hardy­Weinberg Law, developed by G.H Hardy and Wilhelm Weinberg in 1908, states that…

Marisa Ventura: Perpetuation to the Submissive-Female Stereotype Latino women in Hollywood films are often portrayed as stereotypical passive-submissive characters. A passive-submissive female character is usually the nurturing figure in a household - she can be found doing the interior housework, teaching the children in their homes, and doing as she is told, no matter what the task at hand is because she just wants to please the person that they deem as authority. Jennifer Lopez’s character,…

Tay-Sachs is an inherited disease that destroys neurons in the brain and spinal cord. The most common forms of Tay-Sachs appear in infancy, the infant 's affected by the disease generally show no signs, until 3 to 6 months of age. Infants affected by the disease lose motor skills, they also have a tendency to be startled easily especially by loud noises. Infants will begin to have seizures and develop hearing and vision loss, intellectual disability, and paralysis as the conditions progresses…

Their outsourcing agreement with Hewlett-Packard will allow the American company to manage the IT infrastructure and operations for Nokia's network’, (D.C.Charma, 2004). Furthermore Capgemini have been made responsible for order management services. Outsourcing is vital to Nokia’s success as it allows the company to concentrate on vital factors such as R&D, turning to selected suppliers for their special skills. The global business co-ordinates activity’s in supplier countries carefully in…

“Chédiak-Higashi syndrome is an autosomal recessive immunodeficiency disorder characterized by abnormal intracellular protein transport,” (Nowicki ,“Chediak-Higashi Syndrome,” para.2). It is caused by mutations of the LYST gene which is also known as the CHS1 gene. This gene makes “a protein known as the lysosomal trafficking regulator,” (Genetics Home Reference, January 2014). They cause the lysosome to enlarge which ultimately causes problems with normal cell function. “Patients with…

ABSTRACT In this experiment we set up crosses between mutant and wildtype flies in order to find similarities to Mendel’s work with pea plants. We did this by placing females in vials with males and waiting one week. After one week we obtained the second generation and were able to observe the different phenotypes that resulted from the cross. We were able to count each phenotype under a microscope and record the number of each type. We used this data to calculate the chi square value, which…

To learn more about genetics, I conducted an experiment using Reebops to model how genetics is transferred from parents to offspring. At the beginning of my experiment I conducted four hypotheses, one for each of my four crosses. I had two monohybrid crosses and two dihybrid crosses. My first monohybrid cross hypothesis, was the antenna trait being studied is autosomal and undergoes independent assortment. My second monohybrid cross hypothesis, was the body segment trait being studied is…

Discussion: My first hypothesis that the sepia eye and ebony body experimental cross would result in a 9:3:3:1 ratio, and that the traits would be autosomal, unlinked recessive, was found to be false. I chose to reject my hypothesis because my calculated test statistic, 587.5, was larger than the critical value, 7.815. The traits, ebony and sepia, are linked, seeing that they fit in 2:1:1 linkage ratio and that the recombinant number is smaller (Table 1.1). They are autosomal; the amount of…
