a.
To determine:
The genotype of back cross progeny from a homozygous brown fish with a homozygous white fish, and backcrossed the F1 with the homozygous white parent.
Introduction:
Medaka is a small fish, which is found in Japan. The fish are of four colors; red, blue, brown, and white. The color of the fish is determined by the genes at two loci; B, b, and R, r. Brown color is determined by two dominant loci (B_R_), blue color of the fish is determined by one dominant allele (B_rr), red color of the fish is determined by only one dominant allele at the R locus (bbR_), and white color is determined by a recessive allele at both locus (bb rr).
b.
To compare:
The observed numbers of back cross progeny with the number expected progeny, by using a chi-square test, also to conclude the result of chi-square test.

She recently returned from a trip to sub-Saharan Africa, where she did not take malaria prophylaxis. On examination, she is febrile (39.8°C/103.6°F) and hypotensive. Laboratory studies reveal hemoglobin of 8.0 g/dL, platelet count of 50,000/μL, and evidence of hemoglobinuria. A peripheral blood smear shows ring forms and banana-shaped gametocytes.
