Question

can show and explain?

In rabbits, expression of certain genes (such as the Himalayan allele of the tyrosinase gene) is sensitive to changes in environmental temperature. Suppose you set up 4 different climates in the lab: (25 degree, 27 degree, 29 degree, 31 degree C) and put 5 Himalayan rabbits in each environment. After 2 hours of exposure, you sample the rabbits, assay for tyrosinase activity, and record of enzyme activity for each animal. What test should you do if you want to determine whether tyrosinase activity is significantly different at different temperatures?

Explanation / Answer

Here we have to consider effect of temperature as well as effect of Rabbits, since none have same enzyme activity if temperature is same. Considering both the effect or factors we can apply RBD (Randomized Block Design) in this case. (Ans).
