Consider the imaginary trait, bristles with split-ends, a trait hypothesized to be X-linked dominant. In a cross, the P1 virgin females were homozygous wild type while the males had bristles with split-ends. The F1 84 males were all wild type while the 90 females all had split-ends. In addition, the data for the F2 generation revealed 26 wild type males, 35 wild type females, 29 split-end males and 40 split-end females. Is this what is to be expected? Use chi-square to prove your position.
