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 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...

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 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...

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 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...

In recent years, some leopard populations have suffered from a loss of habitat. You are part of a research team that is studying the effects that decreased range has on these populations. Your team observed that a portion of one population relocated to the desert and merged with another small leopard population after its own habitat was threatened by deforestation. You have been assigned to lead the study of this new population and look at its gene pool make-up. In...

Plain M&M's come in 6 different colors (Blue, Orange, Green, Yellow, Red, Brown) and are produced at two different plants. M&M's that come from a plant in Tennessee are supposed to have the following distribution of colors: 20.7% Blue; 20.5% Orange; 19.8% Green; 13.5% Yellow; 13.1% Red and 12.4% Brown. Quality control at the plant is concerned the machine is not working correctly and that it is producing a different distribution of colors. They take a random sample of 940...

G=yellow and g=green pea seeds. You cross a heterozygous yellow-seeded plant with a green-seeded plant to produce the F1. In the F1, you find 70 yellow-seeded and 35 green-seeded offspring. Conduct a Chi-squared test. The critical value in the chi squared table is 3.84. What is the calculated Chi-square value? Are your results consistent with autosomal dominance? Explain.
