2. In daffodils, an allele for yellow flowers (D) is dominant, while an allele for white flowers (d) is recessive. An allele for smooth petals (F) is dominant over an allele for frilled petals (f). The two traits demonstrate independent assortment. A plant that is homozygous for yellow and smooth petals is crossed with a plant that is white and frilled. A resulting F1 plant is then crossed with a plant that is white and frilled, and the following progeny are produced: 56 yellow and smooth; 53 yellow and frilled, 59 white and smooth, and 8 white and frilled. 2a Uce a chi cGuare toct to cempare the obcerved pumb ers with thece oxnocted for the E

Use a chi-square test to compare the observed numbers with those expected for the F2 cross. What conclusion can you make from the results of the chi-square test? 2b. Suggest an explanation for the results.
