A veterinarian wants to perform a study at a local animal shelter where 200 dogs need training on behavior modification. The purpose of the study would be to determine if using a firm voice during training for 10 minutes improves a dog’s learning behavior compared to not speaking during training for 10 minutes. 1. Describe an appropriate design for the study. 2. The hypotheses for this study are as follows: H0: There is no difference in the mean improvement of...

Study Questions Imagine that you are breeding a specific type of plant or animal and there is a characteristic (a phenotypic trait) that you want your breed to have, but it is a recessive trait in that species and none of the current generation you have to work with display the desired phenotype. Is it possible to devise a breeding plan that will result in that characteristic becoming universal among each subsequent generation? Try to imagine a hypothetical breeding population...

Explain the specific contribution of animal models to the study of humans in science in connection with the theory of evolution. A neurotransmitter released into the synaptic space can bind to postsynaptic receptors. List four other possible scenarios following the release of the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft.

Animal Physiology Question 1. How do sensory neurons encode stimulus modality (i.e. type of stimulus), stimulus location, stimulus intensity and stimulus duration? Provide the level of detail necessary to understand these concepts, for hearing specifically. How does your brain distinguish low vs. high frequency sounds?

A simple random sample of 12 reaction times of helicopter pilots is selected. The reaction times have a normal distribution. The sample mean is 1.67 sec with a standard deviation of 0.16 sec. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population standard deviation. 1. 0.11 < σ < 0.23 2. 0.01 < σ < 0.05 3. 0.12 < σ < 0.25 4. 0.13 < σ < 0.22

Animal Physiology Question 1. Dynamic Range is the range of stimulus intensities over which a receptor can respond. Receptors that have a smaller (or narrower) dynamic range have much better discrimination of changes in stimulus intensity than receptors that have a large dynamic range (although I can’t test figures here, you should be able to draw a neuron with a wide vs. narrow dynamic range). Please explain the trade-off between dynamic range and discrimination using the relationship between number of...

A animal behaviorist wants to know how exercise affects behavior of aggressive dogs. She finds a sample of 30 aggressive dogs and randomly divides them into three groups. Over one week, one group is exercised for 20 minute per day, one for one hour per day, and one for 2 hours per day. The number of aggressive behaviors (lunging, biting, snarling, etc.) is recorded for the dogs in each group. State the population(s) of interest. Identify the parameter(s) of interest....
