The results drawn from the graph and draw conclusions regarding the springtails’ role in the reproduction of moss. Introduction: The arthropods help in the fertilization of the many plants. The arthropods help in the transfer of the motile gamete (generally male gamete) from one place to another, which assist the process of mating in between male and the female gamete. This can be studied by the presence of the gametes of the plant on the body of the arthropods. Researchers propose hypothesis that sperm transfer in mosses is facilitated by springtails (a type of arthropod). This hypothesis was tested by researchers growing patches of male and female mosses separated at distances from each other and in the absence or presence of springtails. Researchers checked mean number of sporophytes in each female patch (to confirm occurrence of fertilization). Their results are shown in graph below (& means P **lt; 0.01, * means P < 0.05).

3. In the tomato, red fruit (O+) is dominant over orange fruit (0), and yellow flowers (W+) are dominant over white flowers (w). A cross was made between true-breeding plants with red fruit and yellow flowers, and plants with orange fruit and white flowers. The F₁ plants were then crossed to plants with orange fruit and white flowers, which produced the following results: a. b. 333 red fruit, yellow flowers 64 red fruit, white flowers 58 orange fruit, yellow flowers 350 orange fruit, white flowers Conduct a chi-square analysis to demonstrate that these two genes DO NOT assort independently. Make sure to interpret the P value obtained from your chi-square test. Calculate and provide the map distance (in map units) between the two genes.
