When working out genetics problems in this and succeeding chapters, always assume that members of the P1 generation are homozygous, unless the information or data you are given require you to do otherwise.

The following are F2 results of two of Mendel’s monohybrid crosses.

(a) full pods

882

constricted pods

299

(b) violet flowers

705

white flowers

224

For each cross, state a null hypothesis to be tested using χ2 analysis. Calculate the χ2 value and determine the p value for both. Interpret the p values. Can the deviation in each case be attributed to chance or not? Which of the two crosses shows a greater amount of deviation?
