To assess Mendel’s law of segregation using tomatoes, a true- breeding tall variety (SS) is crossed with a true-breeding short variety (ss). The heterozygous F1 tall plants (Ss) were crossed to produce two sets of F2 data, as follows.

Set I

Set II

30 tall

300 tall

5 short

50 short

(a) Using the χ2 test, analyze the results for both datasets. Calculate χ2 values and estimate the p values in both cases.


(b) From the above analysis, what can you conclude about the importance of generating large datasets in experimental conditions?
