A genetic cross was made between two true-breeding parental fly strains. One parent strain displays red eyes and curly wings, while the other parent strain displays white eyes and vestigial wings. The resulting F1 generation flies were allowed to self-cross to produce F2 generation. The following data were obtained: F1 generation: all have red eyes and curly wings. F2 generation: 295 were red eyes and curly wings, 95 were red eyes and vestigial wings, 89 were white eyes and curly wings, 31 were white eyes and vestigial wings With this data above – please answer the following qu

With this data above – please answer the following questions:
Propose a hypothesis that explains the above inheritance pattern, test the goodness of fit between the data and your hypothesis using a chi square test. Use the chi square table from your textbook/online. Use the information obtained from the chi square table to explain what your calculated chi square results mean.
