The reason for decreased number of forgers can be because we were providing them with resource more than there need. Another observation that can support the above reasoning is there were more forgers

To understand how we can apply these calculations to our results, we formed a null hypothesis relating to the data. The null hypothesis states that there is there is no statistically significant difference between the observed results from our F2 cross and the expected results ratios we received to the ratios we would expect). If there is no statistical significance, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and tentatively accept our previous hypothesis that the autosomal vestigial wing trait will be
