Horny legged beasts The Horny legged beasts are known for their highly variable horn size and leg length. In fact Zoologists have been studying the genetics of these traits for years. A lot is now known about how these characters are handed down through the generations. We now known that the trait for long legs is dominant over short legs and a big horn is a ressesive character. The male at far left here is known to be heterozygous for long legs and homozygous for horn size. The female is heterozygous for both horn size and leg length.

What assumptions are you making about the genes in order to come to your conclusions in question 2? 4. The two Horny Legged Beasts above have bred several times and have had the following offspring: Long legs and small horn: 44 Long legs and big horn: 50 Short legs and small horn: 16 !Remember! Short legs and big horn: 18 If your chi squared value is below the value indicated in the table you can say that the dihybid model holds up. If above you have to reject the dihybrid model - something else is going on... Carry out a Chi Squared test to see if these values are close enough to the expected ratio to be in support of the dihybrid model. (P values to the right)
