Matings between two types of guinea pigs with normal phenotypes produce 64 offspring, 11 of which showed a hyperactive behavioral abnormality. The other 53 offspring were behaviorally normal. Assume that the parents were heterozygous. Using a Chi Square test are these results expected from a Mendelian inheritance perspective? Do these data fit the model that hyperactivity is caused by a recessive allele of a single gene?

Punnett squares use the ____________ of gametes to determine the genotypes and phenotypes of all possible offspring. Two laws of probability apply to genetics. The product rule states that the chance of two events occurring ____________ is equal to the multiplied probabilities of each of those two events occurring ____________ . The sum rule adds ____________ probabilities to determine the ____________ probability for an event. When events are described with the word "and", the ____________ rule is used. Events described using the word "or" often use the ____________ rule. The results of one-trait...

. If two heterozygous parents (i.e., both Aa) mate, they produce offspring in the expected Mendelian proportions (i.e., 1/4AA, 1/2Aa, 1/4aa). We observe a big Drosophila family of 40 offspring of which 7 are aa. i) Construct 95% confidence interval on the observed proportion of aa offspring (7/40). What does this confidence interval tell us about our null hypothesis? Hint: our null hypothesis is that Mendelian laws have not been violated. ii) Are 7 or fewer offspring statistically consistent with ...

Suppose that two pairs allele of AaBb and Aabb are crossed. Among the offspring you would expect four phenotypes in a ration of 3:3:1:1 based on mendelian theorem.

ANSWER USING R AND SHOW CODES Suppose that two pairs allele of AaBb and Aabb are crossed. Among the offspring you would expect four phenotypes in a ration of 3:3:1:1 based on mendelian theorem. Suppose that 64 offspring observed in an experimental cross show these phenotypes: 21 A-B-, 25 A-bb,10 aaB- and 8 aabb. Are these observed results close enough to the expected 3:3:1:1?
