You are studying ferrets which come in two colours, brown ferrets and albino ferrets; brown (A) is dominant to albino (a). You cross a heterozygous brown ferret with an albino ferret and get the following offspring: 30 brown 20 albino You perform a chi-square test comparing your results to your expectations; how many degrees of freedom are associated with this test?
Select one:
a. 2
b. 0
c. 1
Explain as well.
Homework Answers
The degree of freedom is calculated by following formula:
Degree of freedom = n-1
Here n is number of phenotype. As given in the question that there are two type is individual : albino and brown.
That's why n=2
Now degree of freedom is =2 - 1
= 1
That's why right option is 1.

You are studying the inheritance of coat color in guinea pigs. You hypothesize that dark brown fur(B) is dominant to black fur(b). You mate homozygous black guinea pigs with homozygous brown guinea pigs. All of the F1 offspring have dark brown fur. The F1 offspring breed with each other, producing the F2 generation. Your experiment results in 100 F2 offspring, 30 of the F2 offspring are black and 70 of the F2 offspring are brown. Use Chi square analysis to...

You are studying two genes in corn that you believe may be linked: seed shape and and kernel color. You cross two true-breeding corn plants (one with red kernels and round seeds to one with yellow kernels and wrinkled seeds) and receive all red- kerneled, round seed offspring. You then perform a test-cross using the F1 offspring and a yellow-kerneled, round seed corn and receive the following result: 610 red kernels, round seeds 90 yellow kernels, round seeds 100 red...

Punnett Square 4 describes a cross between two heterozygous parents (PpSs x PpSs). Was this Punnett square a good predictor of offspring phenotypes? Use the results of the chi-square test to support your answer. Chi-square results below: Degrees of Freedom= 3 P-value range= Between 0.500 and 0.050. (p>0.05) Conclusion= There is no significant statistical difference between the observed and expected values.

You are studying tail length in squirrels. Short tail (S) is dominant to long tail (1). If you cross a homozygous dominant (SS) with a homozygous recessive (II) and you obtain the following offspring: 115 squirrels: 45 long tail, 70 short tail and you apply a chi-square test to determine if the trait is Mendelian or not What is the expected value for each phenotype? (value with 2 decimals) expected short 115 expected longo...

You cross true-breeding purple and white flowered pea plants. All 202 of the F1 offspring are white. Next you conduct an F1 self cross and yield 312 white and 108 purple F2 offspring. (a) Based on the data, which trait is dominant? (b) Diagram the P and F1 crosses and show F2 offspring. Use symbols of your choice to show each genotype and phenotype. (c) Based on a Chi-Square hypothesis test, do the F2 results fit with what you expect?...

A dihybrid cross is performed in Drosophila - one parent is heterozygous for both genes (B/b ; F/f) and is test-crossed with a homozygous recessive type (b/b ; f/f). (where B = black body; b = brown body; F = forked bristles; f = unforked bristles.) The results are: black, forked 230 black, unforked 210 brown, forked 240 brown, unforked 250 How many degrees of freedom would you use in this case? What would be the expected number for each...

You are studying green iguanas from the Caribbean and want to determine if a specific island's iguana population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with respect to the two M and m alleles segregating at the Mgene locus. In a screen of 1075 individuals from this population, 287 were homozygous MM, 665 were heterozygous Mm, and 123 were homozygous mm. Perform a chi- square test to determine if this population is or is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. (obs - exp) Class Obs...

You are studying a population of squirrels in a city park in McMinniville Tn,. You are interested in this population because it contains some albinos (caused by a recessive allele for fur color). Recent studies in rural areas have shown that albino squirrels suffer predator mortality at a higher rate than normally colored squirrels. You want to know if natural selection acts on albinism in a city park in the same manner that it does in the wild. You go...
