Question

a. What is the mode of inheritance for each of the two mutations that we assigned your team? Explain the evidence (from your figure) that warrants these conclusions. b. Are these traits linked? Explain the evidence (from your figure) that supports the existence/absence of linkage between them. c. Report the Chi-square Test Statistic (x2stat) and p-range for a Chi-square Goodness-of-Fit Test of the observed F2 progeny from that resulted from Reverse parental cross against that which was expected (based inheritance mode and linkage) from that cross. d. Based on your understanding of patterns of inheritance in fruit flies, are these results what you would expect? Why or why not?

Explanation / Answer

Mode of inheritance is either Narrow wing with F slate body or slate body with narrow wing. Calculated value (X2 = 6.965) is higher than the tabulated value (X2 = 5.791), hence the null hypothesis is rejected is due to a single dominantly inherited gene.
