a) To begin your analysis, state your null hypothesis. b) Perform a chi-square analysis. Make sure to analyze your traits to be consistent with the information provided. Clearly present your results in a table as shown in the attachement called Testing Genetics Ratios (Hint: should the traits be tested in males and females?) c) State the correct # of degrees of freedom, calculate the chi-square value and show the approximate p value. d) Make a statement of how the p value relates to whether you decided to reject or not reject, your null hypothesis. e) Finally, make a concluding statement about your original genetic hypothesis(es) based on chi-square analysis. Fully typed, organized correctly, correct spelling, and grammar.

Which of the following choices accurately describe what makes one person different from another with regard to traits (such as height) that have a very high heritability? Choose all that apply a) What makes us different is not that we have different genes, but that we have different alleles of many of those genes b) What makes us different from each other is that we have different genes from each other c) Random factors during development is the most significant causes of differences between people d) Most of us have exactly the same genes and alleles, and it’s the environment we were raised in that makes us different e) None of the other choices are accurate
