1. Dihybrid crosses involving plants with either white or yellowflower and either tall or short morphs were done. The yellow alleleis dominant over the white allele, and the tall allele is dominantover the short allele. The following are the observed numbers ofeach combination. Do these data fit the expected distribution?
TYPE | OBS FREQ | EXP PROP |
YELLOW, TALL | 90 | 0.5625 |
YELLOW, SHORT | 52 | 0.1875 |
WHITE, TALL | 46 | 0.1875 |
WHITE, SHORT | 24 | 0.0625 |
