A young man recently learned from a genetics doctor that he had a condition called Friedreich's ataxia. This syndrome affects the arms and the legs with the person usually needing a wheel chair. Neither of his parents have this disorder. However the young man's grandfather was wheelchair bound, but didn't know why because genetic information was very limited when his grandfather grew up. Based on this information, what type of inheritance does Friedreich's ataxia follow? Explain why. What are the genotypes of each of the individuals mentioned in this question? Create a pedigree chart to support your answer.

Dr. kaylan is an ecologist who studies bird behavior. she sets up an experiment to test which type of food crows are most likely to eat when given a choice between walnuts, corn, and sunflower seeds. to perform her experiment, dr. kaylan places three food bins in an area frequented by cows. each bin contains one of the three food types. then, she measures how much of each food type is eaten every day for a month and summarizes the results of her experiment in the pie chart below. based on her results, dr. kaylan concludes that crows choose to eat corn more frequently than other food sources because it has a higher nutritional value. what is a reasonable alternate conclusion that can be drawn from dr. kaylan's data

Experiments in environmental toxicology can sometimes be manipulative experiments in which the researcher actively chooses and manipulates the independent variable. in hunt's study, for example, dosages of bpa were manipulated and the effects were measured. in manipulative studies, the researcher controls all the other variables in the experiment, so any health effects observed in the test subjects can be attributed to differences in the independent variable. in other cases, researchers use natural experiments in which the dependent variable (typically a measure of organism health) is measured under differing contexts that are not manipulated. say, for example, that an accidental chemical spill contaminates five ponds. to determine the possible effects of the toxic chemical on frogs, a researcher could compare the hatching rate of frog eggs laid in those five ponds to the hatching rate of eggs laid in five uncontaminated ponds nearby. this would be an example of a natural experiment because concentrations of the toxic chemical in the ponds were not controlled by the experimenter, but rather resulted from the chemical spill. drag type of experiment on the left to the example of experiment on the right. blood concentrations of bpa in college students are compared to their recent manipulative consumption of canned food items 2. the feeding behavior of fish in streams that receive acidic runoff from strip mines is compared to the feeding behavior of fish in unaffected streams. the deformity rate in baby birds from nests in pesticide-sprayed fields is compared to the deformity rate in birds from nests in unsprayed fields 4 tumor development is compared in mice exposed to five dosages of a known carcinogen in the laboratory foraging activity levels are compared in tadpoles exposed to four concentrations of toxic metals in the laboratory. growth of corn plants is compared in field plots sprayed with three different dosage: s of weed killer 7 bpa concentrations in the urine of people with diabetes are compared to bpa concentrations in the urine of people without diabetes - natural; manipulative
