Two pea plants are crossed. Both are heterozygous for purple blossom color, while one is homozygous for being short and the other is heterozygous for being tall. In pea plants, tall is dominant to short, and purple flowers are dominant to white.

Fill out the table below for the probability of each possible phenotype. Report probability as a decimal rounded to four places (e.g. 0.1250, not 1/8 or 12.5%).

Phenotype	Probability
tall purple
short purple
tall white
short white

In a population of 150 pea plants, there are 53 tall-purple plants, 52 short-purple plants, 22 tall-white plants, and 23 short-white plants. In order to test if the two traits are experiencing independent assortment researchers would perform a chi squared test. The (null/alternative) hypothesis states that the two genes are independently assorted while the (null/alternative) hypothesis states the two genes are dependent.

What is your calculated Chi Squared statistic?

When performing a contingency table, do not round your expected values!!
Report your calculated X² rounded to four decimal places

What is the corresponding P value?

Use the formula =1-(CHISQ.DIST(X²,df,TRUE)) to convert calculated X²_{^{into a P
value}}
Report your answer rounded to 4 decimal places

Do you fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis?

As a result of this statistical analysis, it is possible to conclude that pea plant height and pea plant blossom color (are or are not) linked traits.

In morning glory flowers, plants with red flowers can be homozygous RR or heterozygous Rr. Plants that are rr have white flowers. How can you determine the genotype of a plant that has red flowers? Multiple Choice A. Cross the red plant with another red plant, and then cross the F1 population with each other to see if any white plants appear. B. The phenotype reflects the genotype, so the plant must be homozygous for the trait. C. Cross the...
