1. A study of sterility in the fruit fly reports the following data on the number of ovaries developed by each female fly in a sample of size 1386. One model for unilateral sterility states that each ovary develops with some probability p independently of the other ovary. Test the fit of this model using χ². (Use α = 0.05.)

x= Number of Ovaries Developed	0	1	2
Observed Count	1211	116	59

Calculate the test statistic (Round your answer to two decimal places

2. The accompanying data refers to leaf marks found on white clover samples selected from both long-grass areas and short-grass areas. Use a χ² test to decide whether the true proportions of different marks are identical for the two types of regions. (Use α = 0.01.)

Type of Mark

	L	LL	Y+YL	O	Others	Sample Size
Long grass areas	402	11	22	7	277	719
Short grass areas	519	4	14	220	768

1. The following table contains data from a study of two airlines which fly to Small Town, USA. If a flight is selected at random, find the probability that the flight is on Upstate Airline given the flight is late. (Round answer to four decimals.) 2. Use the table below to find the probability. Positive Test Result Negative Test Result Subject Uses Drugs 44 (True Positive) 6 (False Negative) Subject is Not a Drug User 90 (False Positive) 860 (True...

In the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, a wingless female fly is mated to a male that is white-bodied and legless. Assume that all alleles causing these phenotypes are recessive. Phenotypically wild-type F1 female progeny were mated to fully homozygous (mutant) males, and the following progeny were observed: Phenotypes Number Observed wingless 324 wild-type 34 white, wingless 135 white 8 white, legless 319 hairless, white, legless 32 hairless 140 hairless, legless 9 (a) With respect to the three genes mentioned in the problem, what are the genotypes...

In the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, a spineless (sp, no wing bristles) female fly is mated to a male that is claret (cl, dark eyes) and hairless (h, no thoracic bristles). Phenotypically wild type F1 female progeny were mated to fully homozygous (mutant) males and the following progeny (1000 total) were observed.

Problem 1 You are doing a genetics experiment with the fruit fly. In the “P” generation, you cross two true-breeding flies. Thefemale parent is brown and wingless and the male parent is black with normal wings. All of the flies in theF1 generation are brown and have normal wings. Assume the genes are not found on a sex chromosome. Indicate the body color alleles with B and b and thewing size alleles with N and n. a) The genotypes of...

Long wings in fruit flies are dominant to vestigial wings. A long winged fruit fly is crossed with a vestigial winged fly. What are the genotypes of the parents and offspring if the cross results in 72 long winged and 68 vestigial winged offspring.

The average fruit fly will lay 400 eggs into rotting fruit. A biologist wants to see if the average will change for flies that have a certain gene modified. The data below shows the number of eggs that were laid into rotting fruit by several fruit flies that had this gene modified. Assume that the distribution of the population is normal. 410, 415, 411, 404, 369, 395, 408, 374, 398, 386, 379 What can be concluded at the the α...

Fenthion is a pesticide used against the olive fruit fly in olive groves. It is toxic to humans, so it is important that there be no residue left on the fruit or inolive oil that will be consumed. One theory was that, if there is residue of the pestice left in the olive oil, it would disspate over time. Chemists set out to test that theory by taking a random sample of small amounts of olive oil with fenthion residue...
