"Alternate-2" disjunction does not exist
1Department of Genetics University of California Davis, California 95616.
Abstract:
John and Lewis (1965) proposed a model of disjunction of translocation heterozygotes that defined two types of alternate disjunction, alternate-1 and alternate-2, differing from the classic view of only one type. Endrizzi (1974), and subsequent workers citing him, claim to have observed two distinct alternate disjunction configurations, corresponding to John and Lewis's alternate-1 and alternate-2 types, in meiotic preparations of several species. These observations are based on a two-dimensional interpretation of the three-dimensional phenomenon of disjunction, and are erroneous. In each case the two supposed types are topologically identical. There is only one possible alternate disjunction configuration.

Equivalent Couples
Two couples are considered to be equivalent if they produce the same rotational effect on a rigid body. In other words, the two couples have the same magnitude and act in the same direction, causing the same angular displacement or acceleration in the body.
For instance, consider two couples lying in the plane of the page, with one having a pair of equal...
Null and Alternative Hypotheses
The null hypothesis, denoted by H0 is a statement of no difference between the variables—they are not related. This can often be considered the status quo. As a result if you cannot accept the null, it requires some action.
The alternative hypothesis, denoted by H1 or Ha, is a claim about the population that is...
