I didn't actually get your message until yesterday afternoon. part a.) the solutions manual is off by two basepairs. part b.) "...I don’t know how I could extrapolate the information of the proportion of XYY males being higher in the study than in the general population to make an ethical argument for or against screening babies.." Excellent point. Talk about this! Is it legitimate to extrapolate? Why or why not? Don't worry, there are NO right answers to this question. Yi-Jang,
Sorry for the excessive delay. I didn’t actually get your message until yesterday afternoon.

part a.) the solutions manual is off by two basepairs.

part b.) “…I don’t know how I could extrapolate the information of the proportion of XYY males being higher in the study than in the general population to make an ethical argument for or against screening babies..”

I have a few questions about the problems assigned for this week. Firstly, in 6.27, the complementary base pairing that they give in the solution manual is completely skewed! None of the explanations that they give seem to have CG, TA pairing. And for part II of the homework, for question 1 (its actually #3 of the social and ethical questions, p114), I don't know how I could extrapolate the information of the proportion of XYY males being higher in the study than in the general population to make an ethical argument for or against screening babies. I don't need an answer, but just a hint as to how I could go about using this information. thanks! Hi Nick,
