stion 6 of 18Suppose that a geneticist discovers a new mutation in Drosophila melanogaster that causes the flies to shake and quiver.She calls this mutation quiver, qu, and determines that it is due to an autosomal recessive gene. She wants to determinewhether the gene encoding quiver is linked to the recessive gene for vestigial wings, vg. She crosses a fly homozygous forquiver and vestigial traits with a fly homozygous for the wild-type traits, and then uses the resulting F, females in atestcross. She obtains the flies from this testcross.Phenotype Number of fliesvg* qu+230vg qu224vg qutvg* qu9799Test the hypothesis that the genes quiver and vestigial assort independently by calculating the chi-squared, X², for thishypothesis.
