Electrocardiograph (ECG) is a graphical representation of the electrical activity of the heart during a cardiac cycle. A patient is connected to the machine with three electrical leads (one to each wrist and one to the left ankle) that continuously monitor the heart activity. For a detailed evaluation of the heart functions multiple leads are attached to the chest region.
The QRS complex represents the depolarisation of the ventricles, which initiates the ventricular contraction. The contraction starts shortly after Q and marks the beginning of the systole. The time taken in QRS complex is 0.12 second in normal ECG.

The larger Q and R wave indicate a myocardial infarction (heart attack). The S-T segment is elevated in acute myocardial infarction and depressed when the heart muscle receives insufficient oxygen.

Impressed with your work, your boss now asks you to apply what you have learned to the genotype for the ivory sample for all 16 STR loci, listed in Table 5 below: The first five STR loci are the same as the ones listed in Table 4. In addition, your colleague has been able to collect additional samples of elephants from the same population as the ones shown in Table 2. He now has allele frequency data based on 80 alleles, shown in the table below: STR locus FH19 FHGO FH67 FH71 FH129 FH39 Allele 1 size (bp) 193 147 97 62 152 239 Allele 1 frequency 0.28 0.66 0.36 0.51 0.39 0.31 Allele 2 size (bp) 193 147 103 62 160 243 Allele 2 frequency 0.28 0.66 0.10 0.51 0.25 0.41 STR locus FH94 FH102 FH103 FH126 FH127 FH153 Allele 1 size (bp) 225 177 149 94 247 169 Allele 1 frequency 0.65 0.64 0.13 0.18 0.04 0.011 Allele 2 size (bp) 225 181 151 110 247 171 Allele 2 frequency 0.65 0.14 0.61 0.11 0.04 0.08 Table 5. Allele size and frequency for 16 STR loci from a sample of 40 elephants (80 alleles): FH40 242 0.68 242 0.68 503 141 0.55 143 0.39 FH48 170 0.05 172 0.38 S04 154 0.8 154 0.8 Compare the frequency of the alleles for STR loci FH19, FH60, FH67, FH71, and FH129 that you completed in Table 3 with the values in Table 5. Why do you think the values differ? Calculate the probability that another individual has the same genotype at all 16 STR loci by using the same procedure as Questions 6b and 6c. What is the probability of an identical match with another elephant at all 16 STRs?
