Question

Multiple choice help please?

1. In a chi square analysis involving genes that may be linked, which of the following statements is correct?

An independent assortment hypothesis is not proposed because the data usually suggest linkage

The hypothesis is rejected when the chi square value is very low

A large chi square values suggests that the observed and expected data are in good agreement

An independent assortment hypothesis is proposed because it allows you to calculate expected numbers of offspring

2.

Explanation / Answer

Answer 1 d) An independent assortment hypothesis is proposed because it allows you to calculate expected numbers of offspring.

Answer 2 B) Meiosis only

Recombination occurs when two molecules of DNA exchange pieces of their genetic material with each other. One of the most notable examples of recombination takes place during meiosis (specifically, during prophase I), when homologous chromosomes line up in pairs and swap segments of DNA
