Q. We have a recombinant inbred line population in the F10generation (NOTE THAT THIS IS A RECOMBINANT INBREDPOPULATION (RIL), NOT AN F2 POPULATION). In thispopulation, it was observed that there were 62 RILs with purpleflowers and 38 RILs with white flowers.
1. What is the expected number of individuals for each class ifa single dominant gene conditions purple flower color? For example,the parents used to produce the RIL population could be WW xww.
2. Calculate the Chi-square statistic for this expectedratio.
3. Does the observed number of purple vs white fit the expectedratio for a single dominant gene at the 0.05 level ofprobability?
