Mendel crossed true-breeding plants with wrinkled and green peas to true breeding plants with round and yellow peas. Then he cro

ssed the F1 plants to true-breeding plants with wrinkled, green peas and observed in the progeny 31 plants with round, yellow peas, 26 plants with round, green peas, 27 plants with wrinkled, yellow peas, and 26 with wrinkled, green peas.
Required:
a. What proportion of these four phenotypes would be expected?
b. Calculate the appropriate chi-square and determine if it is consistent with Mendelian expectations (be sure to indicate the probability range)?

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Let us assume that the genes for texture (wrinkle or round) and color (green or yellow) is represented by s(S) and y(Y) respectively.

True breeding wrinkled and green = ssyy

True breeding round and yellow = SSYY

crossing the two:

                       SSYY   x   ssyy

F1 progeny:          all SsYy

Then, he crossed the F1 progeny with another ssyy

                       SsYy   x   ssyy

Progeny:

4 SsYy - round and yellow

4 Ssyy - round and green

4 ssYy - wrinkled and yellow

4 ssyy - wrinkled and green

a. Proportion of the phenotype expected = 1:1:1:1

b. Chi square = \frac{(O - E)^2}{E}, where O = observed frequency, and E = expected frequency.

phenotype                      O                   E                            Chi square

round and yellow            31           1/4 x 110 = 27.5     \frac{(31 - 27.5)^2}{27.5} = 0.45

round and green             26          1/4 x 110 = 27.5     \frac{(26 - 27.5)^2}{27.5} = 0.08

wrinkled and yellow        27          1/4 x 110 = 27.5     \frac{(27 - 27.5)^2}{27.5} = 0.01

wrinkled and green         26          1/4 x 110 = 27.5    \frac{(26 - 27.5)^2}{27.5} = 0.08

Total Chi square = 0.45 + 0.08 + 0.01 + 0.08 = 0.62

Degree of freedom = 4 -1 = 3

Chi square tabulated (95% probability level) = 7.815

<em>The calculated Chi square value is less than the tabulated Chi square value, hence, the outcome from the experiment is consistent with Mendelian expectations at 95% probability level.</em>

What is menopause, and why does it occur?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

A woman is born with all of her eggs, which are stored in her ovaries. The ovaries also make the hormones estrogen and progesterone, which control her period (menstruation) and the release of eggs (ovulation). Menopause happens when the ovaries no longer release an egg every month and menstruation stops.
