A biologist is conducting experiments with scientific cross pollination of pink roses with white, red, and orange roses. The annual experiments show that the pink can produce 60% pink and 20% white and 20% red, red can produce 40% red, 50% pink and 10% orange, orange can produce 25% orange, 50% pink and 25% white, and white can produce 50% pink and 50% white.
1. Express the biologist situation as a Markov chain.
2. If the biologist started the pollination with equal number of roses then what would be the distribution after many years?

Expert Solution

Yes this is Markov chain with TPM

If the biologist started the pollination with equal number of roses then what would be the distribution after many years?

Red = 18%

Pink = 55%.

White = 24%

Orange = 4%

2) A box contains 4 red roses and 5 white roses. If two roses are randomly selected without replacement (this means that when the first rose is removed it is not returned to the box), find the following probabilities: a) The probability that both selected roses are white. b) The probability that at most one white rose is selected. c) The probability of not selecting any white rose.

Joint cost allocation Rosie’s Roses produces three colors of roses: red, white, and peach. The roses are produced jointly in the same garden, and aggregately cost a total of $110 per harvest. One harvest produces 80 red roses, 70 white roses, and 50 peach roses. Rosie also noted that the peach roses require a fertilizer that is twice as expensive as the fertilizer required by the white and red roses. However, due to the structure of the shared garden space,...

Two pink-flowered azaleas are crossed. The cross produces are 25 pink, 13 white, and 10 lavender-flowered plants. The color trait could be monogenic with incomplete dominance (1:2:1) or digenic with epistasis (9:4:3). What statistical test could you perform to test this hypothesis? Does this test actually allow you to distinguish between these hypotheses? Explain and show your calculations. Note: A p-value of 0.05 equals 5.99 equals for two degrees of freedom.

Flower color in buffalo clover is either white or some shade of pink to red. Pollen from a red individual was applied to white flowers in 1999. This seed was germinated in 2000 and four red plants were obtained in the progeny. These four red plants were allowed to self pollinate in summer 2000 to produce the next generation. Populations of progeny from each of the four plants were grown in the greenhouse in spring 2001 and the following data...
