Question

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 3 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 factor is temperature i.e. 25,27,29,31 and response variable is tyrosianse activity and follwoing way data will be availeble

here we we use one way anova and F-test will be used with

null hypothesis H0: tyrosinase activity is same at different tempetaures and

alternate hypothesis:tyrosinase activity is different at different tempetaures

tyrosianse activity 25C 27C 29C 31C rabbit1 --- --- --- --- rabbit2 --- --- --- --- rabbit3 --- --- --- --- rabbit4 --- --- --- --- rabbit5 --- --- --- ---
