The Pearson Correlation Coefficient is a tool used in understanding the behavior of gene expression. A positive ratio means a gene is induced in cancer cells and is transcribed at a higher rate. A negative ratio means a gene is suppressed in cancer cells or is transcribed less frequently than in normal cells. What form of gene expression do you think would lead to a correlation coefficient of one

the gene is being expressed at an equal rate in both cell types

Explanation:

In statistics, the Pearson correlation is a linear measure of the association between two continuous variables. The Pearson's Correlation Coefficient may exhibit values between -1 and +1. A value equal to 1 shows a perfect correlation, indicating that when one variable increases the second variable also increases (when this value is +1) or decreases (when this value is -1). Moreover, when the Correlation Coefficient is equal to 0 it means that there is no correlation.

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
