White (w) & Yellow (y) are both on the X chromosome and only 1.5 M.U. apart. Let us see if the data obtained fits with a sex-linked, linked gene (at 1.5 M.U.), recessive inheritance model.
1. Determine expected frequencies of each individual progeny possibility based on the 1.5 M.U. distance. Do this by showing a punnet square for frequencies. This one is challenging since it involves two genes both on the X chromosome and we are going to assume that crossing over does not happen in males. However, we are still going to ignore the effects of multiple crossover events.
a. (1.5 points) First, determine what gametes each adult of the F1 can produce (don't calculate probabilities yet). You may need to consider sex, linkage, and lack of male crossing over to determine this. Remember this is class data so the P generation was affected males crossed to homozygous wild type females.
b. (1 point) Which gametes represent the "parental" type? Which are "non-parental," and so therefore are a result of crossing over?
c. (1.5 point) Construct the punnet square showing the genotype outcomes of this F1 sibling cross (don't calculate probabilities yet).
d. (1.5 points) Construct a punnet square showing the expected genotype probabilities/frequencies (based on 1.5 M.U.) and then calculate and show the phenotype frequencies. Remember how recombination frequency relates to the frequency of parental and non-parental gametes.
2. (1 point) Determine the expected number of flies of each category.

Discuss what you believe are the main points of the article
: Suppose that someone used nanotechnology to build little robots (called "nanobots") that could make copies of themselves. Discuss whether or not you believe the nanobots would be alive. Explain why or why not.

Describe why heritablility only applies to population
: Describe why heritablility only applies to population (not individuals or species), and how heritability can change without any genetic change occurring.

Idealized normal distribution
: Let's work with a really idealized normal distribution. We'll pretend that American 12-year-old boys have an average (mean) weight of 100 lbs.

Anova for rate of return
: Suppose a stock analyst wants to determine whether there is a difference in the mean rate of returns for three types of stock - utility, retail, and banking.

Would this be a t-value distribution

Correlating net profit per location
: I did a study correlating net profit per location with expenditures on an in-house promotion, and got a correlation of about .15, and that was received very well.
