The liver takes up cholesterol for excretion and
metabolism from three
different lipoprotein particles (LDL, chylomicron remnants and
HDL).
Describe the discovery, structure and functional characteristics of
the
three receptors involved. Where appropriate, include examples
of
genetic mutations that helped identify functional domains within
each
receptor, and hence provided insight into uptake mechanisms.

Male butterflies sometimes court females of other species with similar wing patterns. You are interested in how long males persist in courting the wrong female. You decide to test each male with a dead female, to control for the effect of the female’s behavior. You use three types of test females: one from the same species as the males, one from a different species with a similar wing pattern, and one from a different species with a different wing pattern. Each pair is placed in a cage, and you measure courtship time in seconds.
#1 Female of same species: 23, 20, 17, 25, 28
#2 Female of different species, similar pattern: 18, 27, 24, 21
#3 Female of different species, different pattern: 22, 21, 23, 20
a. Which statistical test would you use to look for differences?
b. Perform the test. What is your test statistic? Can you reject your null hypothesis?
c. Give a biological reason why your test may have come out the way it did.
