In case of the genes that assort independently in a test cross, the phenotypic ratio is 1: 1: 1: 1. In the given case, the total number of phenotypes is 400, thus, every phenotype should be 100 each. Since that is not the case, it may be concluded that the genes are not assorting independently.

Thus, to determine the chi-square = (observed-expected)^2 / expected.

By putting the values, we get the values of chi-square as

AB = 4.84

Ab = 3.24

aB = 3.61

ab = 4.41

Thus, the chi-square value will be the addition of the individual values that comes out to be 16.1. Here there are three degrees of freedom (Number of classes-1). Observing at the P table, this puts the value of P < 0.005.

A large chi-square value suggests that independent assortment actually did not occur as the expected and the observed values were very distinct.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer: The question is not complete as options are not complete , the remain part are;

A. 3.7 years, photosynthetic bacteria.

B. 3.7 years cyanobacteria.

The correct option is

3.7 billion years old, cyanobacteria and stromatolite.

Explanation:

This is because cyanobacteria is the oldest fossil to exist and they have been in existence for about 3. 7 billion years. These cyanobacteria photosynthesized because they have thread like chlorophyll filament, they produce food through the process of photosynthesis which is needed for their survival and they release oxygen as bye product.

Which structure of the heart is responsible for prevening blood from flowing in tthe wrong direction?

Sloan [31]

The valves are responsible for preventing blood from flowing in the wrong direction, they are present in the veins, and the arteries don't need them because the aorta (biggest artery) pumps or in other words pushes it with such a force that no other force can change its direction, in the veins there is no structure present for pumping them as a result we have got valves so that they go in one direction...... the meaning of the word valve is to allow in one direction

You see an entire pond, with the same plant across most of it. The plant seems to be surviving very well. Which adaptation does

faust18 [17]

Answer: One advantage is, well, the water. There’s plenty of it and it’s all around. Therefore, most aquatic plants do not need adaptations for absorbing, transporting, and conserving water. They can save energy and matter by not growing extensive root systems, vascular tissues, or thick cuticles on leaves. Support is also less of a problem because of the buoyancy of water. As a result, adaptations such as strong woody stems and deep anchoring roots are not necessary for most aquatic plants.
