Question

how to do chi-square calculations on this?

2. The following are dihybrid F2 data. Do these data support the hypothesis of independent assortment? Complete the table, calculate X2, and answer the questions based on your calculations Phenotype (O-E) (O-E) O-EHE A B 406 A bb 149 162 51 Total A. In interpreting this X2 value, you have degrees of freedom. B. In this case do you accept/reject the hypothesis that these data approximate the dihybrid F ratio with independent assortment? C. What is the probability that the deviations are due to chance alone? D. Complete the following table for the data given. Determine whether each gene pair is behaving according to Mendel's first law, giving a 3:1 ratio. Note that because F2 data are being considered in this problem, one might reasonably expect each individual trait to behave according to Mendels law of segregation, giving a 3:1 ratio. Accept or reject X2 value P value hypothesis Hypothesis 3 A-: I aa 3 B-: 1 bb

Explanation / Answer

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

Inference: The calculated chisquare value i.e. 4.17 is less than the table value i.e. 7.82 at 3 DF and 0.05 probability. Hence the null hypothesis is accepted. Which means the observed values fit to 9:3:3:1 ratio.

a. 3 DF, Degrees of freedom = no. of categories; 4-1 = 3

b. Accepted because the calculated chisquare value i.e. 4.17 is less than the table value i.e. 7.82 at 3 DF and 0.05 probability

d. After arranging the data as per alleles:

For allele A:

A _ : 406+149 : 555

Aa : 162+ 51 : 213

Null hypothesis : The observed values are not deviating from the 3:1 ratio.

Inference: The calculated chisquare value i.e 3.06 is less than the table value i.e. 3.84 at 1 DF and 0.05 probability. Hence the null hypothesis is accepted. Which means the observed values fit to 3:1 ratio.

For allele B:

B_ : 406+162 = 568

Bb : 149+51 = 200

Null hypothesis : The observed values are not deviating from the 3:1 ratio.
