12. When Mendel performed his famous dihybrid cross by starting with a parental lines of peas that was
homozygous for yellow and round alleles (YYRR) and another line that was homozygous for green
and wrinkled alleles (yyrr), he obtained the following data from the F2 generation.
F2 Phenotype
Yellow, Round (Y-R-)
Yellow, Wrinkled (Y- rr)
Green, Round (yy R-)
Green, Wrinkled (yy mr)
Total

Observed Count
315
101

556
Let's test whether these data are consistent with Mendel's interpretation of independent assortment.

Expected Count
i. Under the null hypothesis of independent assortment, what would be the expected counts
for each F2 phenotype in Mendel's experiment? Enter your answers in the table above.
You should round your expected counts to the nearest whole number.

ii. Use the above data to calculate a x² statistic to test the null hypothesis of independent
assortment. Show your calculations.
X*050
3.841
5.991
7.815
9.488
11.070
iii. Critical x² values associated with the conventional threshold of p = 0.05 are shown below.
Based on the results of your test, can you reject the null hypothesis? Does that mean these
data are consistent or inconsistent with Mendel's original interpretation?
