In the buzzock, slimy (S) is dominant to rough (s), and tall (T) is dominant to short (t). You cross a short rough female with a tall slimy male, and obtain the following offspring
24 tall slimy
29 tall rough
27 short slimy
28 short rough

If the two genes are unlinked you expect the following ratio: 1 tall slimy : 1 tall rough : 1 short slimy : 1 short rough. test whether the S and T genes are linked or not using a chi-square test and the null hypothesis that inheritance of alleles each locus is independent (i.e. they are unlinked). NOTE: correct answer is 0.16 chi value with 1 degree of freedom

Expert Solution

If the null hypothesis is that inheritance of each allele locus is independent so alternative hypothesis will be the opposite ones.

If p value is less than 0.05 , we will accept alternate hypothesis.

And here degree of freedom cannot be 1 because we are comparing 4 phenotypes here. We can't be comparing two phenotypes because then only dof will be 1.

In Smurfs, dwarf (T) is dominant to tall (t), pink (B) is dominant to blue (b), and happy (G) is dominant to gloomy (g). All loci are autosomal and not linked. The phenotypes of parents and their progeny are given for several crosses below. Determine the most likely genotypes for each parent and write them in the appropriate spaces below. Note that the parents may not be pure breeding. Female Parent Phenotype Male Parent Phenotype Progeny Numbers and Phenotypes Dwarf,...

In peas, tall (T) is dominant to short (t), yellow (Y) is dominant to green (y)...

In peas, tall (T) is dominant to short (t), yellow (Y) is dominant to green (y) and round (R) is dominant to wrinkled (r). A purebreeding plant with tall, green and wrinkled pea phenotypes is crossed to a purebreeding plant that is short and makes yellow, round peas. When peas from this F1 generation are crossed, what is the probability of obtaining a short plant that makes yellow, wrinkled peas in the F2?

In violets, purple is dominant to white and tall stems are dominant to short stems. . A tall purple plant that is heterozygous at both loci is crossed with a double homozygous recessive plant. What is the probability of obtaining either a tall white plant or a short purple plant? What percent of the offspring are expected to be heterozygous at one or both loci? What will be the expected ratio of the F2 offspring of the F1 generation?
