In view of the x' values obtained for each trait individually, how might you account for the dihybrid testcross ratio obtained? i Cn 35

Explanation / Answer

2) a) The degree of freedom is calculated by the formula,

df = (number of rows -1) (number of columns - 1)

= (2 -1) (4 - 1)

= (1)(3)

= 3

b) The chi-square value is higher than the critical value. So, we reject the null hypothesis.

c) When null hypotheis is rejected, the probability that the deviations are due to chance alone is low.

d) The dihybrid test cross ratio obtained each has a equal chance.
