In an effort to counteract student cheating, the professor of a large class created four versions of a midterm exam, distributing the four versions among the students in the class. After the exam, students from the class got together and petitioned to nullify the results on the grounds that the four versions were not equal in difficulty.
To investigate the students' assertion, the professor examined the means and variances of the scores on the different versions of the exam, obtaining the following information (the exam had possible points).
Sample Sample Sample
Size Mean Variance
Version A 84 151.8 347.1
Version B 84 152.3 333.7
Version C 84 157.9 423.6
Version D 84 155.8 465.5
Taking the scores for each version of the exam as a sample of scores for that version, the professor performed a one-way, independent-samples ANOVA test of the equality of the population mean scores for the four versions.
What is the value of the mean square for error (the "within groups" mean square) that would be reported in the ANOVA test?
What is the value of the mean square for treatments (the "between groups" mean square) that would be reported in the ANOVA test?
Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places, and round your responses to at least one decimal place.

How many allele pairs are involved
: Plants may be 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 or 70 cm high where plant high is under polygenic control. A true-breeding plant that is 10 cm is crossed to another true-breeding plant that is 50 cm.

How might drift prevent selection from acting
: one of the basic tenets of evolution by natural selection is that evolution requires variation upon which selection acts. How might drift prevent selection from acting?

Create a scenerio in which the population evolves
: create a scenerio in which the population evolves to an intermediate allele frequency, in other words neither allele is lost from the population. Test your scenerio with different initial allele frequencies to see if it produces consistent results..

Explain why this conversion occurs in organisms
: Many organism withstand periods of oxygen debt (anaerobic condition). Yeast undergoing oxygen debt converts pyruvic acid to ethanol and carbon dioxide.
