Struggling with my genetics experiments. Breeding fruit flies and looking at their eye colors.

Out of 229 flies, I got 173 wild type, and 56 sepia. That's 75.55% and 24.45%. A textbook clear example of 3:1 inheritance of a recessive allele.

But the chi square analysis says that I have to accept the null hypothesis, that it's just coincidence. Something about that seems wrong when the data fits so perfectly.

This is a very simple experiment on inheritance tracking eye color. Wild type is a brick red (as shown in the op picture) and sepia is a yellow-brown color.

We did two crosses. 4 female sepia x 4 male wild type. And 4 female wild type x 4 male sepia.

Allowed them to breed, and isolated the F1 generation. All of the F1 generation have wild type eye coloration. From the F1 generations we crossed 4 females and 4 males.

The F2 generation yielded 229 flies total, which we counted as 173 wild type and 56 sepia eyed.

Because the trait is not sex linked (or it would have appeared in one of our F1 generations) I lumped them all together.

So when I say "x is an element of the real numbers", could that mean that x could still be imaginary? Is it more appropriate to say that x is a subset of real numbers when I am saying that it isn't imaginary?

I was thinking something like Aluffi, Algebra Chapter 0, Topology by Munkres, or some book on easy differential geometry like Do Carmo.

The dead are judged and are sent to heaven, hell, purgatory, or limbo. They can't get "stuck/lost" along the way.

Sometimes the dead do appear through the will up high but just long enough to give a message to the living.

Is there any real science behind meditation, or is
it just a placebo? If there is science behind it,
which kinds? Does anyone know anything about
this, or is it a waste of time?

Meditation is objectively healthy in moderation. I don't do it anymore because I have kids and work and study, so a spare hour in the day to sit around not thinking about things is pretty hard to come by.

If by placebo you mean something that only works because it makes you feel better then yes. Obviously. That doesn't make it a waste of time though, if it works it works.

Yea dude, dalai lama went to a conference this year that had a fuck ton of scientists doing shit like this shit maaaaaaaaaaaaan.


But for real, science has been doing this.

Quite honestly, i don't see much difference in that what buddhism describes and what neurology is doing.

The only difference is that of the reference point you base your "considerations" on.

Science has it's way, and buddhism has it's way.

The bridges will meet. science demands more rigor and proof.

does anyone know any good TI-84 programs that will do derivatives or integrals and output the answers in exact form. Like the derivative of ln(x) would come out as 1/x, or integration of x comes out as x^2/2 instead of showing decimal values?

this.

Just learn calculus. Learn it properly. It doesn't take forever and it's not impossible, it just takes some motivation.
I can't think of a good reason why you'd need to use that the integral of x is x^2/2 without learning that it is so.
>>
If you don't know ln(x) and power derivatives off the top of your heads this far into the semester, you are going to fail irrespective of what you put on your calculator.

Basically, we spent like half an hour debating what (Or if we could) pi look like converted into binary. We came to a few different answers but none were conclusive. So I'm enlisting your help because this is a science board...For Science...And stuff.

The way irrational numbers are usually represented in binary is through floating point http://www.toves.org/books/float/ , however you obviously can't represent the entirety of the irrational number in that way.
If you had infinite space, you could represent PI in binary by simply converting every number into its binary equivalent
3.14... => 0011 , 0001 0100...
that wouldn't be floating point format, but it would be the simplest way to represent pi in binary (but again, you'd need infinite space to store the bits)

Third way would be to use the formula to compute each digit and then translate it to binary "on the fly"

Yes, exactly the way we "convert" it into decimal. The positions on the other side of the decimal, rather than being 10ths, 100ths, 1000ths, etc, would be halves, fourths, 8ths, 16ths, etc.
