Provide an appropriate response.A severe drought affected several western states for 3 years. A Christmas tree farmer is worried about the drought’s effect on the size of his trees. To decide whether the growth of the trees has been retarded, the farmer decides to take a sample of the heights of 25 trees and obtains the following results (recorded in inches):60, 57, 62, 69, 46, 54, 64, 60, 59, 58, 75, 51, 49, 67, 65, 44, 58, 55, 48, 62, 63, 73, 52, 55, 50The tree farmer feels the normal height of a tree that was unaffected by the drought would be 65 inches. Find the z-score for a tree that is 65 inches tall.

Organism Topic One key experiment

You are studying a new species whose sex determination appears to be similar to mammals – you have determined that it has two sex chromosomes, X and Y, and that the Y chromosome confers maleness. You want to map the location on the Y chromosome that confers maleness. You have identified 8 individuals with non-homologous recombination between the X and Y chromosomes. The figure below provides the phenotypic sex and the portion(s) of the Y chromosome present in each individual. Provide your most accurate determination of which region(s) of the Y chromosome are required to specify maleness in this species and briefly explain your logic.
