1: The article “Linkage Studies of the Tomato (Trans. Royal Canad. Inst. (1931): 1-19) reported the following data on phenotypes resulting from crossing tall cut-leaf tomatoes with dwarf potato-leaf tomatoes. There are four possible phenotypes: (1) tall cut-leaf, (2) tall potato-leaf, (3) dwarf cut-leaf, (4) dwarf potato-leaf. Mendel’s laws of inheritance imply that π1= 9/16, π2= 3/16, π3= 3/16, π4= 1/16. (π means probability) Using the 0.01 significance level,test to determine if the reported data are different from what we would have expected with Mendel’s laws?
