Question

The F2 generation from a dihybrid cross produced a total of 219 tall plants with purple flowers, 72 dwarf plants with purple flowers, 69 tall plants with pink flowers, and 31 dwarf plants with pink flowers.

1: please state your hypothesis and explain how you arrived at this prediction

2:

3: What is the chi-square value between the observed and expected offspring from the F2 generation for this dihybrid cross? (2 mark) Please report your chi-square value with 3 decimal places .

(a) What is the degrees of freedom for this dihybrid cross? Blank 1 (1 mark)

(b) What is the probability associated with your calculated chi-square value for this dihybrid cross? (2 marks)

Blank 2 < P < Blank 3

HINT: Make sure you enter the numbers on the correct side of the less than (>) symbols.

phenotype observe expected Purple, tall Purple, dwarf Pink, tall Pink, dwarf total number of plants in F2 generation

Explanation / Answer

1. Null hypothesis: The observed values are not deviating from the expected ratio i.e. 9:3:3:1.

3: The chi-square value between the observed and expected offspring from the F2 generation = 2.043

(a) What is the degrees of freedom for this dihybrid cross? = 4-1 = 3

(b) What is the probability associated with your calculated chi-square value for this dihybrid cross? 7.82 at 3 DF and 0.05 probability.
