Question
In Primula vulgaris (primrose), purple flowers are dominant to white flowers, and short plants
are dominant to tall plants. The genes controlling these two traits are on different
chromosomes. You cross a true-breeding purple, short plant with a true-breeding white, tall
plant and then intercross the resulting F1 offspring. In the F2 offspring, you find the following
phenotypes:
Purple, short
Purple, tall
608
161
White, short
White, tall
173
58
With your knowledge of the x' test, you will determine whether the outcomes of the F1
intercross corresponds to expectations based on Mendelian genetics.
1. What is your null hypothesis for the outcome of the F1 intercross? Write it here:
2. Based on your null hypothesis, how many individuals do you expect in each of the phenotypic
classes? Write your expectations below.
Purple, short
Purple, tall
White, short
White, tall
3. What are the degrees of freedom for this test? Write your answer here:
