The cross a + a + b + b + × aa bb produces an F 1 that is phenotypically a b. Its F 2 phenotypes appear in the following numbers: 11eb5dbf_7e83_9067_b032_2f97f65e4bad_SM1308_00 What numbers would be expected if the a and b loci assort independently? Use a chi-square test to evaluate whether the two loci are linked or assort independently.

Exercise 1

The cross a + a + b + b + × aa bb produces an F 1 that is phenotypically a b. Its F₂ phenotypes appear in the following numbers:

The cross a + a + b + b + × aa bb produces an F 1 that is phenotypically a b. Its F<sub>2</sub> phenotypes appear in the following numbers: What numbers would be expected if the a and b loci assort independently? Use a chi-square test to evaluate whether the two loci are linked or assort independently.

What numbers would be expected if the a and b loci assort independently? Use a chi-square test to evaluate whether the two loci are linked or assort independently.
