A one-way ANOVA was performed to analyze the mean processing times of three machines. The ANOVA table is shown below: Source Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value Pr(>F) Machine 2 200.4 100.2 7.85 0.0014 Residuals 27 344.5 12.76 Using a level of significance of 0.05, what conclusion can be drawn from this result?

Which term describes the study of how behaviors and/or the environment may modify how a person’s genes are expressed or function? (Select the best fit.)

Consensus-based practice standards and position statements are forms/types of clinical practice guidelines.

Trendy Treasures, a local retail store, wants to understand the relationship between the number of customers visiting the store and the daily sales revenue. James wants to predict the daily sales revenue based on the number of customers. An R-squared value of 0.65 indicates that:

A triplet code on an antisense strand of DNA reads 3 GTT 5.  The codon of mRNA transcribed from this strand would read:

Suppose you have a C++ program called prog.cpp. To compile the program on a Unix system, you would use the command g++ prog.cpp This generates an executable file called . You can then run the program by typing . If you want to specify the name of the output file, you can use the -o flag, as follows:  g++ prog.cpp -o prog This will produce an executable file called For programs designed to run in parallel, you might include libraries such as for shared-memory parallelism or for parallelism. To compile a parallel program using OpenMP, you would use the -fopenmp flag and run the executable just like a serial program. For MPI-based programs, you compile using a specialized compiler wrapper, such as , and run the program across multiple processes using the command.

Questions 28-30 are based on the same pedigree. This pedigree traces the inheritance of a rare autosomal recessive disease. Individual I-2 is known to be homozygous. Assume that q = 1/50 for this mutant allele, and that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.     The chance of III-2 being affected is approximately

In a mixed-sex population in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, the frequency of colorblind females is 1%. Color-blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. Colorblind males in this population consist of:

This question and the previous one are based on the same information.In guinea pigs, black fur is an autosomal dominant trait, and white is the alternative recessive trait. A Hardy-Weinberg population of 400 guinea pigs was found to contain 64 white individuals.Consider ONLY the BLACK animals in this population. What PERCENTAGE of these animals is expected to be HETEROZYGOUS?

In this pedigree, a circle = female, and a square = male. Assume all individuals are homoplasmic, but people from different families have different DNAs.   How many different mitochondrial DNAs are present in this pedigree?
