Abstract:
A contrasting genotype and allele frequency pattern between Africans and non-Africans in the Duffy (T-33C) locus is reported. Its near fixation in various populations suggest is no longer under natural selection, and that current distribution is possibly a relic of distant extreme selection combined with genetic drift during the out of Africa. We put this difference into the utility to infer the ancestral state of ambiguous loci in different populations.

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...
Testing a Claim about Mean: Unknown Population SD
Estimating a population mean requires the samples to be approximately normally distributed. The data should be collected from the randomly selected samples having no sampling bias. There is no specific requirement for sample size. But if the sample size is less than 30, and we don't know the population standard deviation, a different approach is used;...
