If the chi-square value came out to 14,224.221 and the p-value was said to be less than 0.01, what do you conclude about whether these traits follow a simple Mendelian inheritance pattern? Explain your answer.
Use the following information to answer the next two questions.In cattle, a polled or hornless trait (P) is dominant over a horned trait(p).A polled bull mated with three different cows, and the following calves were born in the spring. Cow Phenotype F1 Generation Phenotype Cow 1 - Horned Calf 1 - Horned Cow 2 - Polled Calf 2 - Horned Cow 3 - Polled Calf 3 - Polled Which of the following rows correctly identifies the genotypes of the cattle?

In your F2 light treatment vial, you observe the following data: 5 white-eyed males, 18 wild-type males, 7 white-eyed females, and 10 wild-type females. What is the white-eyed allele frequency in this generation? Leave your answer as a decimal. Give the explanation also.
Using the observed counts for each genotype, how do you find the expected values with those numbers and the frequencies?
From the pedigree shown here, answer the following questions with regard to individual VII-1. A. Who are the common ancestors of her parents? B. What is the inbreeding coefficient for this individual?
The mean and standard deviation of plant height from two rice plants (P1 and P2) and their progeny (F1 and F2) and a backcross generation (P1 x F1) are shown below. Complete the table by calculating the variances and coefficient of variation for each population and answer the questionswhich follow (See image) 1. Explain the possible reasons for the observed differences in the sample means. Account forthe differences in the sample means of P1 and P2. Similarly, account for the differences in thesample means of the F1 and F2. Compare the difference in the parental generations with thatin the filial generations.2. Interpret the CV values from each population.3. Compare the sample variances of P1 and P2. Account for any differences. Similarly, comparethe sample variances of the F1 and F2 generations, and account for any differences. Give thepossible causes of variation in each generation.4. Calculate the broad-sense heritability of plant height in this species. Interpret your results.
How are the standard deviation and variance related to each other? How are they different than just measuring the range? Can plot samples of dandelion cover from two different locations have the same mean but different variance? Explain. Can you answer question 3? Thanks.
