Let’s imagine that in corn plants, blue kernels (b+) are dominant to yellow kernels (b), and long leaves (l+) are dominant to short leaves (l).  You carry out a testcross between a plant heterozgous for both color and leaf length with a plant homozygous recessive at both loci. You obtain the following data from the cross: 965 wild type (blue,long) 944 (yellow, short) 206 (blue, short) 185 (yellow, long)  b+b l+l bb ll b+b ll bb l+l   What is the recombination frequency (RF) between the Blue Kernel and Leaf Length loci?

A sample analyzed at 10 A.M. had a value for total bilirubin of 15 mg/dL. The sample was left on the counter and late that afternoon the specimen was analyzed again. This time the total bilirubin was 9 mg/dL. Which of the following is the probable cause of the discrepancy between the two readings?
