Chapter 3, Problem 36P
Summary Introduction
To explain: The chi-square or χ2test.
Introduction: The χ2 test plays an important role in experimental situations, where observed results are compared with those predicted by a hypothesis. It is used to decide whether or not an observed experimental deviation is reasonably compatible with a working hypothesis.

A presumed dihybrid in Drosophila, BbFf is testcrossed with bbff. (B-black body, b-brown body, F-forked bristles, f-unforked bristles) The results for the testcross are below:
Black, forked: 230
Black, unforked: 210
Brown, forked: 240
Brown, unforked: 250
Determine the expected values and ratios for each genotype.
The data set attached summarizes F2 numbers from an F1 cross arising from two, true-breeding Drosophila strains (P generation), which differ with respect to two mutant traits.
Here are the hypothesis:
Leg length - The wild-type and mutant alleles for leg length are incomplete dominant relative to each other.
Justification: The data set includes three phenotypic categories for leg length: wild type (long leg), medium leg, and truncated wings. The presence of three distinct phenotypes suggests an incomplete dominance pattern, where the heterozygous individuals exhibit an intermediate leg length phenotype (medium leg). The absence of purebred short-legged individuals supports the idea that the long leg allele is dominant over the short leg allele. This shows that mode of inheritance is incomplete dominance of the alleles relative to each other. Since the data does not mention any specific differences between males and females, we can assume that the mode of inheritance for the trait is…
Female Drosophila with cinnabar eye (cn) and vestigial wings (vg) were mates to males with roof wings(fr). The F1 were all wild type ñ. When the F1 females were tested and crossed with males homozygous for all three traits the following result were obtained Give the phenotype of the offspring ( this time simply follow the given sequence above and separate the genes with single space):

You cross flies that are triply mutant for apricot (pale eyes), bristle (extra bristles) and clipped (notched wings) to wild-type flies. The F+ flies are wild-type in appearance. You then backcross the F+ females to pure-breeding (apricot, bristle, clipped) males and score the phenotypes of 1000 F progeny for all three loci. Here are the results: 359 wild-type 361 apricot, bristle, clipped 89 bristle, clipped 91 apricot 42 apricot, bristle 38 clipped 9 apricot, clipped 11 bristle Using these data, first determine what gametes from the F; trihybrid produced each of the eight F2 categories. Note that apricot = aa (recessive to wild-type A); bristle = bb (recessive to wild-type B); and clipped = cc (recessive to wild-type C). Then determine if each gamete is recombinant (R) or nonrecombinant (R) for each pair of alleles (that is, for each genetic interval). Complete the table by dragging the…arrow_forward
