Yellow inflated will be = 61 x 9 =549 Yellow constricted will be = 61 x 3 = 183 Green inflated will be = 61 x 3 = 183 So, the given values are almost similar to hypothesized values. The null hypothesis is ruled out because the values are not exactly equal to the hypothesized values. But it follows alternate hypothesis since values are just slightly different almost same. Also, the phenotype is a combination of genotype and environmental interaction, so therefore, the punnet square values are not always the phenotype seen in actual environment.
