There really isn't a rigorous definition, except that they are beyond the usual range of the data. To some it may be a value (or range of values) that could occur 1:50 times, to others it might be 1:1000 or 1:10000 times. It may be a very high number or a very low number, but it must be a number whose occurrence is rare.

How do find lower and upper extreme?

To find the lower extreme, you need to identify the smallest value in a data set. To find the upper extreme, you need to identify the largest value in the data set. These values represent the lowest and highest points of the data distribution.


What is it called when extreme conditions like high temperatures and extreme pH values change the shape of an enzyme?

Proteins become "denatured", meaning they change shape., break down and can't function the way it is supposed to, and could potentially cause a problem by getting in the way of other proteins.


What is the Latin word for extreme?

The Latin word for extreme is "extremus."


Can you explain the concept of regression to the mean between generations and how it influences the inheritance of traits?

Regression to the mean is a statistical concept that suggests extreme values in a population are likely to move closer to the average in the next generation. This means that offspring of individuals with extreme traits are likely to have traits that are closer to the average of the population. This phenomenon influences the inheritance of traits by tempering the extremes seen in parents, leading to a more balanced distribution of traits in the offspring.


What is continuous and discontinuous variations?

Continuous variation refers to a range of possible values that a trait can take, such as height or weight, showing a smooth spectrum of variation. Discontinuous variation refers to distinct categories or traits that do not show a gradual range of values, like blood type or eye color.

When computing Standard deviation should you eliminate the extreme values?

Generally not without further reason. Extreme values are often called outliers. Eliminating unusually high values will lower the standard deviation. You may want to calculate standard deviations with and without the extreme values to identify their impact on calculations. See related link for additional discussion.

What removes individuals with average trait values creating two populations with extreme traits?

Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection that removes individuals with average trait values, favoring individuals with extreme traits. Over time, this process can lead to the divergence of a population into two distinct groups, each with their own extreme trait values.
