Suppose Π1 and Π2 be two populations of plants of two distinct varieties of wheat. The measurements of each member of these two populations are x1 = plant height x2 = length of ear.
Assuming that these observations were sampled from two-dimensional normal populations with unknown mean vectors µ1 and µ2, and the same covariance matrix Σ. The sample mean vectors and pooled covariance matrix of observations from Π1 and Π2 are:                                            Use the Hotelling two-sample Τ2 statistic to Test for a difference in the population mean vectors.

6. Two true breeding varieties of plants are crossed in a two-factor cross. One parent has red axial flowers and the other had white terminal flowers. All F1 individuals had red terminal flowers. The F1 offspring are then crossed to produce the F2 offspring. a. Which traits are dominant? Which are recessive? What are the genotypes of the F1 individuals? b. If 300 F2 offspring were counted, how many of them would you expect to have red, axial flowers. Show...

As part of a study of wheat maturation, an agronomist selected a sample of wheat plants at random from a field plot. For each plant, the agronomist measured the moisture content from two locations: one from the central portion and one from the top portion of the wheat head. The agronomist hypothesizes that the central portion of the wheat head has less moisture than the top portion. What can the agronomist conclude with α = 0.05? The moisture content data...

As a curious General Genetics student, you grew and observed the performance of two wheat plants of the same variety in different locations. One in your backyard garden and the other in a pot under a shade. After the wheat matured, you observed that the plant from the garden yielded more grains than that from the shade. Give a genetic explanation for your observation On your Grandfather’s farm, two black cattle have been mated over several years. Out of a...
Populations evolve for many reasons. Suppose there is a population of plants that have either purple flowers or white flowers
Populations evolve for many reasons. Suppose there is a population of plants that have either purple flowers or white flowers, and the allele for purple flowers is dominant. This means that plants with two purple alleles have purple flowers. Plants with one purple allele and one white allele also have purple flowers. Only plants with two white alleles have white flowers. For each event or condition described below, answer the following questions. Which mechanism of evolution is at work? How...

Suppose two countries Mexico and Canada both produce two goods wheat and coffee, suppose the relative price of wheat in Mexico is 2.5 but in Canada it is 0.5. If they both specialize based on comparative advantage and trade, what will be the range of possible global relative price of coffee that trade will converge to, providing both countries mutual gains from trade. Assuming the resource used in producing wheat and coffee is homogeneous, what will happen to the wheat...

A discount specialty foods store sells many varieties of baked goods and wheat-based crackers and snacks. It has recently noticed the growing popularity of a snack made of potatoes and lentils. It has also received a growing number of inquiries regarding gluten-free products, of which it has very few. The company is considering whether to introduce more gluten-free baked goods and snacks into both its own product line and its stock. 1. How should the company go about sampling its...

Suppose there are two plants that are emitting sulphur dioxide into the air and polluting the environment. One plant has a higher marginal benefit curve than the other. Draw and label a graph illustrating the impact of imposing a uniform environmental standard on the two plants. In a separate graph, show the effects of imposing an emission tax on the two plants. Which policy is more economically efficient and why? Explain how a cap and trade program can lead to...

Suppose there are two countries in the world: Canada and the United States. Power plants in the United States mid-west burning high-sulphur coal contributes to the acidification of lakes in Canada. Explain by using a diagram, if the two countries do nothing to reduce pollution, then there is a loss in economic efficiency.
