Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 18PDQ
The following are F2 results of two of Mendel’s monohybrid crosses.
For each cross, state a null hypothesis to be tested using χ2 analysis. Calculate the χ2 value and determine the p value for both. Interpret the p values. Can the deviation in each case be attributed to chance or not? Which of the two crosses shows a greater amount of deviation?

shown are the F2 results of two Mendel's monohybrid crosses. Mendel crossed 2 heterozygote parents. If he were to expect segregation to happen normally, do the results match his expectations? state a null hypothesis that you will test using chi-square analysis. Calculate the chi-square value and determine the p value for both crosses
a. Full pods: 882; constricted pods: 299 (full pods are dominant over constricted)
b. violet flowers: 705; white flowers: 500 (violet dominant over white)
In Mendel's experiments, he obtained the following results:
Which phenotypes can be said to be dominant?
The following are F2 results of two Mendel mono hybrid crosses. For each cross state a null hypothesis to be tested using x2 analysis. a) full pods 882 constricted pods 299
b) violet flowers 705 white flowers 224. Calculate the X2value and determine the p value for both. Interpret the p values. Can the deviation in each case be attributed to chance or not? Which of the two crosses shows a greater amount of deviation?

Purple Flower (P) is dominant to white flower (p). Using the following information perform the dihybrid cross using punnett squares that will predict all possible genotypes of the offspring and list the number and description of the phenotypes of the offspring. A. One plant homozygous dominant for plant height and flower color crossed with another plant homozygous recessive for plant height and heterozygous for flower color.arrow_forwardRough coat (R) is dominant over smooth coat (r) in guinea pigs, and black coat (B) is dominant over white (b). This pair of contrasting traits obeys both of Mendel’s laws. If a homozygous rough black is mated with a homozygous smooth white, give the appearance of each of the following: F1; F2; offspring of F1 mated with smooth, white parent; offspring of F1mated with rough, black parent.arrow_forward
- Given the following genotypes for two parents, AABBCc × AabbCc, assume that all traits exhibit simple dominance and independent assortment.

- Gray seed color in peas is dominant to white. Assume that Mendel conducted a series of experiments where plants with gray seeds were crossed with each other and the following progeny were produced: 320 gray and 80 white.
