Question

A dihybrid testcross is made to determine if genes C and D are linked. The results are shown in the table.

1. The chi-square value is the sum for all progeny classes of (observed-expected)2/expected. Using the chi-square test for goodness of fit, calculate the chi-square value to test the null hypothesis that genes C and D are unlinked. What is the chi-square value?

2. Using the chi-square test for goodness of fit, how many degrees of freedom are in this data set?

3. Using table 5.2 find the most accurate range within which the p value falls.

4. What is a reasonable conclusion based on the chi-square analysis?
