    Does Linkage Matter in a Cross of Truebreeding Recessives?

    Just a simple question, if I got two genes with 2 recessive mutants, let say the wildtype A and B with mutants a and b. And I cross truebreeding mutants (AA bb, aa BB), linkage, in this situation, doesn't matter, I'll get Aa Bb anyway, am I right ?

    Probability and ribonucleotides

    There's question in Hardt's Essential Genetics that bugs me, because I'm not sure if the answer is very simple or if I just don't get the question right. If you have a sequence of 4 ribonucleotides (with equal frequency), what is the probability to have a start codon/stop codon and what would be...

    Transforming Differential Equations: Laplace and Algebra

    In fact I think we have to go with; \frac{a}{([s+1]^2+1)(s^2+a^2)} = \frac{A(s+1)+B}{[s+1]^2+1}+\frac{Cs+D+E}{s^2+a^2}

    Transforming Differential Equations: Laplace and Algebra

    I tried, but I know the solution (because of Maple) is; y(t) = \frac{e^{-t}sin(t)a^3}{4+a^4}+\frac{2e^{-t}cos(t)a}{4+a^4}+\frac{2\sin(at)-2a\cos(at)-a^2\sin(at)}{4+a^4} And I'm not getting there.

    Solving Oscillating Mass-Spring System w/ Non-Resonant Force

    Thx for the help, I solved the diff. equation. But will the solution to the differential equation give me the position or the velocity at time t ? And there's no initial condition, only B\not = \sqrt{k/m}, I don't know what to do with it.

    Transforming Differential Equations: Laplace and Algebra

    There must be some other way, it's only a basic course, after all. Perhaps I'm making a mistake in the Laplace transforms...

    Solving Oscillating Mass-Spring System w/ Non-Resonant Force

    I'm not sure I understand your point, it's more a problem of math than a problem of physics, I must solve; mx'' + kx = F \sin(Bt) But I don't know how

    Transforming Differential Equations: Laplace and Algebra

    Thx for the answer.. I really have to use Laplace transformes, it's in the question, and no, I tcan't use MatLab or any other programs, I need to do it manually.

    Transforming Differential Equations: Laplace and Algebra

    Homework Statement I must find the solution of a differential equation, but I'm stuck with a problem of algebra; Homework Equations The problem is y''+2y'+2y = sin(at) With y(0) = y(0)' = 0 y''+2y'+2y = sin(at) s^2L[y]+2sL[y]+2L[y] = \frac{a}{s^2+a^2} L[y](s^2+2s+2) =...

    Calculating Maximum Height of Object Thrown Upward

    I don't know much about classical physics, if I throw a rock or mass M upward with an initial velocity Z, with gravity g and air resistance A acting against it, is this equation the right one ; m\frac{dv}{dt} = (Z-g)m -Av Then if I want to know the maximal height, I just need to integrate...

    Statistical Test for Differences Between Groups with Varying Sizes

    Hi, I want to know if the variations between the group means are statistically significant (which probably mean I'll need to use the size of the sample for each group as well).

    Statistical Test for Differences Between Groups with Varying Sizes

    A very simple thing; I have to collect data with 4 different group size. Something like; Group A; 12.4, 17.8, 12.5 ... Group B; 15.2, 9.5, ... I simply want to know if the differences between the groups are statistically signifiant. I don't want anybody to explain the me the math, I just...

    How did ancient Greeks use geometry to solve algebraic equations?

    I've heard ancient greeks were able to solve algebra using geometry. For example, if you have a line between two points AC (B being right in the middle), can you find a point x so; AB/AX = AX/AC if a is length of AB, then AB = a and AC = 2a, so the problem is really about; a/x =...
