Objective:
This study was aimed to evaluate the Methionine synthase reductase (MTRR) A66G mutation in Yadav and Scheduled Caste (SC) population of Uttar Pradesh.
Materials And Methods:
Blood samples were collected from 100 subjects after taking informed written consent and PCR-RFLP method was used for the analysis of A66G mutation. After NdeI digestion, 66-bp amplicon of normal allele was cut into 22- and 44-bp long fragments, whereas mutant G allele was not digested.
Results:
Frequencies of genotypes in Yadav population AA, AG, and GG were 12%, 60%, and 28%, respectively, and in SC population, genotypic frequencies were 12% (AA), 52% (AG), and 36% (GG).
Conclusion:
MTRR gene A66G mutation is found to be polymorphic in both the target populations with G allele frequencies being 0.58 for Yadav and 0.62 for Scheduled Caste.

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal chance to...
