An hypothesis-driven, molecular phylogenetics exercise for college biology students.
This hypothesis-driven laboratory exercise teaches how DNA evidence can be used to investigate an organism's evolutionary history while providing practical modeling of the fundamental processes of gene transcription and translation. We used an inquiry-based approach to construct a laboratory around a nontrivial, open-ended evolutionary question about the relationship of five species of Drosophi...
متن کاملHYPOTHESIS TESTING FOR AN EXCHANGEABLE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
Consider an exchangeable normal vector with parameters ????2, and ?. On the basis of a vector observation some tests about these parameters are found and their properties are discussed. A simulation study for these tests and a few nonparametric tests are presented. Some advantages and disadvantages of these tests are discussed and a few applications are given.
متن کاملThe Molecular Biology Capstone Assessment: A Concept Assessment for Upper-Division Molecular Biology Students
Measuring students' conceptual understandings has become increasingly important to biology faculty members involved in evaluating and improving departmental programs. We developed the Molecular Biology Capstone Assessment (MBCA) to gauge comprehension of fundamental concepts in molecular and cell biology and the ability to apply these concepts in novel scenarios. Targeted at graduating students...
متن کاملAn Hypothesis-Driven Vision System
Th is paper presents a small vision system created to study Minsky's theory of Frame Systems It is organized around a detailed semantic hypothetical model of the scene, which is capable of being structurally altered and adjusted to f i t the visual data. Visual data is gathered through a window, whose position is controlled by suggestions which arise from uncertain parameters of the hypothetica...
متن کاملMolecular Phylogenetics and Evolution
The freshwater mussel family Hyriidae (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Unionida) has a disjunct trans-Pacific distribution in Australasia and South America. Previous phylogenetic analyses have estimated the evolutionary relationships of the family and the major infra-familial taxa (Velesunioninae and Hyriinae: Hyridellini in Australia; Hyriinae: Hyriini, Castaliini, and Rhipidodontini in South America), bu...
