The F2 generation from a dihybrid cross produced a total of 219 tall plants with purple flowers, 72 dwarf plants with purple flowers, 69 tall plants with pink flowers, and 31 dwarf plants with pink flowers.

3: What is the chi-square value between the observed and expected offspring from the F2 generation for this dihybrid cross? (2 mark) Please report your chi-square value with 3 decimal places .
(a) What is the degrees of freedom for this dihybrid cross? Blank 1 (1 mark)
(b) What is the probability associated with your calculated chi-square value for this dihybrid cross?
Blank 2 < P < Blank 3
HINT: Make sure you enter the numbers on the correct side of the less than (>) symbols.
1. Null hypothesis: The observed values are not deviating from the expected ratio i.e. 9:3:3:1.
