In this experiment, pairs of plants, one cross- and one self-fertilized, were planted and grown in the same plot. The following table gives the difference in height for 15 pairs of plants (cross-fertilized minus self-fertilized Zea mays) raised by Charles Darwin. Use this data to evaluate the null hypothesis that the two methods are not different at a significance level of 0.01 .

State your hypothesis first

Difference: 49, -67, 8, 16, 6, 23, 28, 41, 14, 29, 56, 24, 75, 60, -48

Calculate the 99% Confidence Interval using hand calculations (Without Using the R t.test function)

Describe how Mendel cross-fertilized and self-fertilized pea plants.

In an experiment on colour inheritance in a particular flower, of 1135 self-fertilized plants, 270 plants had blue flowers, 300 plants had yellow, and565 had red. Theory predicts the flowers should be 25% blue, 25% yellow, and 50% red. Do the observed data support the theory? If you were to do a goodness of fit test on this data to test the hypothesis that the theory is correct, state to one place of decimal the expected frequency for the yellow...

The following data are average fruit sizes (in grams) on plants that were grown either with or without phosphorus fertilizer over a year. Fertilized<-c(4.96,6.05,10.93,7.93,3.63,6.2,11.82,4.3,10.16,9.05) Unfertilized<-c(8.11,5.14,4.1,8.44,10.76,2.94,1.79,2.7,6.6,6.4) #A. Is there a 'significant' difference between fertilized and unfertilized trees? #B. What is the standardized effect size of these data

4) A vanilla bean plant with white-coloured flowers was self-crossed. The seeds were collected and planted. The resulting progeny were 211 plants with white-coloured flowers and 55 plants with black-coloured flowers. Write the genotypes of the parental plant and its progeny, using B and b to designate the different flower-colour alleles. (a) Genotype of the parent with white-coloured flowers: (b) Genotype(s) of the progeny with white-coloured flowers (if more than one genotype is possible, please separate the genotypes with...

Camellia plants were grown in two different settings - low light and high light - and the leaf widths of the plants were measured (in millimeters). For the plants growing in low light areas, 25 leaves sampled returned a mean of 47.7 mm and a standard deviation of 3.96 mm. The sample of 25 plants in high-light areas had a mean leaf width of 55.8 mm with standard deviation of 7.26 mm. At the 5% significance level, do camellia plants...

A. In a Meselson-Stahl type experiment, bacterial cells grown in 15N medium for many generations were washed and then allowed to grow in 14N medium. DNA was extracted just after transfer (0 generation) and then after 1 and 2 generations. All these samples were analyzed by CsCl gradient centrifugation. From DNA isolated from generations 0, 1 and 2 show. B.Position of bands in the centrifuge tubes C. 14N and 15N labelled DNA strands Answer both questions for each mode of...

In an experiment to compare two diets for fattening beef steers, nine pairs of animals were chosen from the herd: members of each pair were matched as closely as possible with respect to hereditary factors. The members of each pair were randomly allocated, one to each diet. The following table shows the weight gains (Ib) of the animals over a 140 day test period on diet 1 (Y1) and on diet 2 (Y2). Pair Diet 1 Diet 2 1 596...

1.One of the concerns about genetic modification of agricultural plants is the possibility of cross-breeding between herbicide-resistant GMOs and weeds, creating “superweeds” that would be resistant to commonly used herbicides. EXPLAIN how PCR could be used to determine whether such cross-breeding had occurred.

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...
