Question

in pea plants, inflated pods(I) are dominant to constricted pods(i). In addition, axial stems (A) are dominant to terminal stems(a). a true breeding inflated axial plant (IIAA) is crossed with a true- breeding constricted terminal plant (iiaa). the F1 plants (IiAa) were allowed to inter breed

what phenotypes would be expected in the F2 generation and what would be the expected ratios of the phenotypes?

suppose you observed the following results 189 inflated, axial plants; 67 inflated terminal plants 50 constricted axial plants 14 constricted terminal plants is this data consistent with the phenotypic ratio predicted above? chi square analysis

Explanation / Answer

in pea plants, inflated pods(I) are dominant to constricted pods(i). In addition, axial stems (A) are dominant to terminal stems(a). a true breeding inflated axial plant (IIAA) is crossed with a true- breeding constricted terminal plant (iiaa). the F1 plants (IiAa) were allowed to inter breed

what phenotypes would be expected in the F2 generation and what would be the expected ratios of the phenotypes?

PARENTAL ---------- IIAA X iiaa

f1-------------------IiAa

IiAa xIiAa

phenotypes ratio =9:3:3:1

inflated pods   axial stems = 9/16

inflated pods terminal stems(= 3/16

constricted pods axial stems = 3/16

constricted podsterminal stems= 1/16

suppose you observed the following results 189 inflated, axial plants; 67 inflated terminal plants 50 constricted axial plants 14 constricted terminal plants is this data consistent with the phenotypic ratio predicted above? chi square analysis

calculate value is more than table vlaue hence null hypotheis is rejected

is data NOT consistent with the phenotypic ratio predicted
