you are provided with counts of F1 and F2 offspring with given genders and disease phenotypes. The data are generated from an initial parental cross. One parent displays the disease phenotype and one displays the wild-type (WT) phenotype. The WT parent always has a homozygous genotype. There are three possible modes of inheritance that underlie the generation of the data. All are monogenic. They are: (i) Autosomal Recessive. (ii) Homozygous Lethal Dominant. (iii) Autosomal Dominant. One's phenotype is determined by their genotype at the disease locus and the mode of inheritance, as we have seen with the Punnett Square. In this assignment you are provided with a computer generated mode of inheritance. Your task is to perform a chi-square goodness of fit test on the F2 data and make a decision, based on your statistical analysis, as to whether you reject or do not reject the computer generated mode of inheritance as being consistent with the observed data. The mode of inheritance you are to test on the observed data is autosomal recessive. PARENTAL CROSS Parental cross: Father with disease phenotype, Mother with wild-type phenotype.
