A cross was made between a plant that has blue flowers and purple seeds and a plant with white flowers and green seeds. The F1 generation was then allowed to self-fertilize. The following data were obtained
A cross was made between a plant that has blue flowers and purple seeds and a plant with white flowers and green seeds. The F1 generation was then allowed to self-fertilize. The following data were obtained.
F1 Generation: All offspring have blue flowers with purple seeds.
F2 Generation: 208 blue flowers, purple seeds
13 blue flowers, green seeds
19 White flowers, purple seeds
60 white flowers, green seeds
Total: 300
The scientist needs to test if the two genes segregate independently and has formulated the null-hypothesis that there is no significant difference between the observed and expected data.
