Algebra.Com's Answer #851124 by CPhill(1959)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! To determine if there's a significant difference in protein expression among proteins and cell lines, we'll use a two-way ANOVA (Analysis of Variance).\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**1.
