Answer:
EDTA is a chelating agent used to preserve samples for DNA extraction and as an anticoagulant
Explanation:
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a well-known chelating agent that binds metal ions (iron and calcium ions). In police cases, EDTA can be used for DNA extraction since this agent chelates metal ions in DNase enzymes which are contained in the samples, thereby reducing their activity and preserving DNA samples for a long time. Moreover, EDTA is also used as an anticoagulant for blood cells, which allows preserving the cellular components and the morphology of blood samples.

Hopefully these are correct
According to Mendel's experiment if we construct a punnet square the expected ratios should be 9:3:3:1. From our experimental results,
purple smooth = 75 ( 0.56) the expected is 0.56
white smooth = 28 ( 0.21) expected is 0.19
purple wrinkled= 24 (0.18) expected is 0.19
white wrinkled = 8 (0.06) expected is 0.06
From this results we plug the observable and expected values in a chi-square which is used to account for the differences between the expected and observable values. Then we conclude that the deviation of the observable value from the expected value is probably due to random sampling error and therefore we accept the hypothesis, such that the results are in consistent with the law of assortment.
