1. You found a new species of garden pea and have decided to
repeat Mendel’s experiments. You have obtained two true-breeding
pea plants that are tall (T) with yellow pods (g), and short (t)
with green pods (G), respectively. Capital letters indicate
dominant traits. a. What is the genotype and phenotype of the F1
generation? (2p) b. You allowed self-fertilization in F1 generation
and obtained F2 generation. Using Punnett square to obtain the
phenotypes, genotypes and their respective ratios. (4p) 2. If you
obtained 1248 offspring in the F2 generation in Question 1,
calculate how many offspring of each phenotypic class you would
expect to have. (4p) 3. When you finish questions 1 and 2, under
what assumption/hypothesis did you perform your
analysis/calculation? Is there an alternative
assumption/hypothesis, which may result in a different conclusion?
If yes, what is the alternative assumption/hypothesis and what kind
of offspring and in what numbers do you expect to obtain? (4p) 4.
You only need to answer A or B to get this 6p. Please indicate
which question you are answering. In your experiment, you found the
following offspring only: Tall green: 626 offspring. Tall yellow:
313 offspring. Short green: 309 offspring. A: If you stay with your
original hypothesis/assumption, test it using chi2 test and analyze
the result (whether you want to reject the hypothesis and why). B:
If you believe that the alternative hypothesis fits better with
your data, test it using chi2 test and analyze the result (whether
you want to accept the hypothesis and why). I need help with #3 and
#4
