Problem Statement You have the mRNA sequence that results from the transcription of the Homo sapiens Hemoglobin subunit beta gene. Knowing that the 5' and 3' ends of the mRNA are processed post-transcriptionally, you know that the start codon and termination codon lie somewhere inside the sequence. A manual inspection of the mRNA sequence should reveal the locations of the start and stop codons, but to ensure you don't miss anything you decide to write a Python script to analyze...

A mouse from a true-breeding population with normal gait was crossed to a mouse displaying an odd gait called “dancing.” The F1 animals all showed normal gait. If dancing is caused by homozygosity for the recessive allele of a single gene, what proportion of the F2 mice should be dancers if you cross two F1 mice? 25% 50% 75% 0% 33%

A sample of n = 16 individuals is selected from a population with µ = 30. After a treatment is administered to the individuals, the sample mean is found to be M = 33. A. Assume that the sample variance is s2 = 16. Compute a single sample t-test to evaluate if the treatment produced a significant effect and calculate r2 to measure the size of the treatment effect. Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. B. Now, assume...
