Question
Transcribed Image Text:To test for gene linkage a dihybrid testcross of A/a;B/b x a/a;b/b is carried out
resulting in 100 progeny with the following phenotypes:
AB - 30
Ab-22
a B - 20
ab - 28
Your null hypothesis is that genes A and B assort independently and are not linked.
How many offspring would you expect to see with the A B phenotype?
To test the null hypothesis that genes A and B are unlinked, you perform an
exhaustive set of calculations and arrive at a chi-square value of 2.72. Based on the
table below, do you accept or reject your null hypothesis with 95% confidence?
