A cross was performed using Drosophila melanogaster involving a female known to be heterozygous for both ebony body and sepia eyes and a male known to be homozygous for both of these recessive traits. The following data was produced from the cross. Test these data to determine if they are significantly different from the expected phenotypic ratio. Remember to use the 5% level of significance Wild eye Wild body – 102, Wild eye Ebony body – 94, Sepia eye Wild body – 100, Sepia eye Ebony body – 93.  Your answer should include the hypothesized cross in genotypes, the Chi-squared value, the critical value and whether you reject or do not reject.

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
