CHI-SQUARE AND TESTS OF CONTINGENCY TABLES Hypothesis tests may be performed on contingency tables in order to decide whether or not effects are present. Effects in a contingency table are defined as relationships between the row and column variables; that is‚ are the levels of the row variable diferentially distributed over levels of the column variables. Significance in this hypothesis test means that interpretation of the cell frequencies is warranted. Non-significance means that any differences

Taste discrimination in young and old Drosophila melanogaster Introduction The ability to discriminate taste is critical for the survival and nutrition of an organism (Sellier et al.‚ 2010‚ Gordesky-Gold et al.‚ 2008). Many animals rely on their taste organs to detect and discriminate various types of taste such as sweet or bitter (Weiss et al.‚ 2011). When these organs come in contact with a food source‚ signals are sent to taste receptor cells. The activation of certain taste receptor cells by

Biology Lab Report 7 “Independent Assortment & Dihybrid Cross” 10-22-2013 Biology 202 Introduction: In genetics‚ when crossing a purebred white flower with a purple flower‚ we might expect its offspring to be a blend of both colors. Instead‚ we see that its offspring is purple as well. This is led to be by one trait being dominant over another trait. Gregor Mendel came up with a theory that each member of a pair of homologous chromosomes separates independently

individuals for centuries. Even today symbolism is commonly used to convey a specific meaning or communicate a special message. Christianity in particular is a great example of the use of symbolism for religious purposes. The symbol of the Chi Rho originated in Rome in the year 305 CE. This monogram was the very first symbol of Christianity‚ and was appointed when the persecution of Christians came to an end. This event is a very important occasion in history‚ as well as a milestone for the

Spots to visit and Eat at Trafalgar Square The square was initially called Charing. Later it got to be known as Charing Cross‚ after a dedication cross on the square. The close-by underground station is still named Charing Cross. Everybody probably saw the dolphins in the Trafalgar Square wellsprings‚ however there are sharks also. The present wellsprings were planned by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1937-39 to supplant the prior wellsprings by Sir Charles Barry. These wellsprings remember World War One

Biology 301 12/3/2012 The Effects of Relative Fitness of Drosophila Melanogaster on Evolution Abstract This experiment was conducted to study the relative fitness of two phenotypes of the Drosophila melanogaster and how fitness can affect evolution in the population. The phenotypes were placed in two different environments‚ one in which contained a predator and another with no predator. Results of the experiment would show how the fitness of each phenotype is affected by providing a mechanism

Effects of Organic Food on Drosophila Melanogaster A new study has shown that fruit flies that lived on organic foods tended to be healthier than those that lived on conventional foods. The two things that researchers based their conclusions for health on were fertility and longevity. These two things are two important aspects to a fly’s life. On both of these tests‚ the flies that were fed organic food performed better than the flies that were fed conventional food. They survived for a longer

Abstract: Enzymes help determine a phenotype through proteins. The experiment presented tests how enzymes affect the pigment in the eye of Drosophila. What was resulted in this experiment is that when certain enzymes change‚ a mutation is created‚ causing the change of pigments in the different Drosophila’s eyes. The production of one enzyme is one gene and a mutation of this gene can cause an enzyme to be inactive which leads to the phenotype changing. Introduction: George W. Beadle and Edward L
