Question

In corn, red kernel color (R) is dominant to yellow (r) and smooth kernel texture (W) is dominant to wrinkled (w).  

Corn heterozygous for kernel color and kernel  texture are interbred resulting in the following offspring.

330 red smooth

97 red wrinkled

101 yellow smooth

32 yellow wrinkled  

1. Perform a Contingency Chi-Square analysis and determine if kernel color is independent of kernel texture. Show your DF, chi square value, and p value

2. Do you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?

3. Is kernel color independent of kernel texture?

Answer 1

Please look in image:

Yes, there is found kernel color gene is independent of kernel texture.

Please rate high.
