How the skeletal muscle tissue adapts to its function

There is an extremely high level of genetic similarity in human, with greater than 99% sequence identity across populations. Although this similarity is extremely high, many people appear very different phenotypically. How do you resolve these contrasting observations?

A regression analysis of two traits yields a slope of 0. Explain the biological meaning of this value.

The correlation coefficient is a measure of the strength of association between two traits. Correlation, however, does not indicate causation (interconnection). Think of one or two variables (not necessarily phenotypes) that are correlated and are causally linked, and one or two variables that may be correlated but are not likely to be causally linked.

What is gout? What are the typical medications used to (a) PREVENT and (b) TREAT gout patients. Explain the mechanisms and side effects of these medications from a biochemist point of view.
