1. Dihybrid crosses involving plants with either white or yellow flower and either tall or short morphs were done. The yellow allele is dominant over the white allele, and the tall allele is dominant over the short allele. The following are the observed numbers of each combination. Do these data fit the expected distribution?
TYPE | OBS FREQ |
EXP PROP |
YELLOW, TALL | 90 | 0.5625 |
YELLOW, SHORT | 52 | 0.1875 |
WHITE, TALL | 46 | 0.1875 |
WHITE, SHORT | 24 | 0.0625 |
