Two true breeding plants are cross pollinated. One plant is homozygous dominant for heightand color while the other is homozygous recessive for height and color. (A:tall, a:short, B:brown,b:red) The F1 plants are allowed to self-fertilize to produce an F2 generation. After conductingan experiment we get the following results:398 tall and brown plants122 tall and red plants128 short and brown plants45 short and red plants
Using the Chi Square formula and table, determine if your results support the hypothesis ofindependent assortment or not. Show your work. You don’t need to show your Punnett Squaresif you include a statement as to how you figured out the appropriate phenotypic ratio for the F2generation. Round to 1 decimal.4a. What possible gametes can the following individual make: AaBb4b. What possible gametes can the following individual make: AaBbCC
A genetic cross was made between two types of pea plants. One type produces round and green seeds, while the other type produces wrinkled and yellow seeds. A plant breeder crossed these two types and then allowed the F1 generation to self-fertilize. The following data were obtained:
F1 generation: all produce wrinkled and yellow seeds.
F2 generation: 157 produce wrinkled and yellow seeds
57 produce wrinkled and green seeds
54 produce round and yellow seeds
20 produce round and green seeds
a) Propose a hypothesis that you think is consistent with the observed data.
b) Test the goodness of fit between the data and your hypothesis using a chi square test.
c) Explain what your calculated chi square results mean.
