Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating Chi square ( $X^2$ ):

$X^2$ = $\frac{(O - E)^2}{E}$ where O = observed frequency and E = expected frequency.

The observed frequencies for the four phenotypes are 88, 62, 62, and 81 respectively.

For the expected frequency, the phenotypes are supposed to assort in 9:3:3:1 according to Mendel ratio.

Hence, expected frequencies are calculated as:

phenotype (1) = 9/16 x 293 = 164.81

phenotype (2) = 3/16 x 293 = 54.94

phenotype (3) = 3/16 x 293 = 54.94

phenotype (4) = 1/16 x 293 = 18.31

The $X^2$ is calculated thus:

Phenotype O E $X^2$

1 88 164.81 $\frac{(88 - 164.81)^2}{164.81}$ = 35.80

2 62 54.94 $\frac{(62 - 54.94)^2}{54.94}$ = 0.91

3 62 54.94 $\frac{(62 - 54.94)^2}{54.94}$ = 0.91

4 81 18.31 $\frac{(81 - 18.31)^2}{18.31}$ = 214.64

Total $X^2$ = 35.80 + 0.91 + 0.91 + 214.64 = 252.26

To the nearest tenth = 252

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 4- 1 = 3

$X^2$ tabulated = 7.815

<em>The calculated </em> $X^2$ <em> exceeds the critical value, hence, the null hypothesis is rejected. The two genes did not assort independently. </em>

Compare and contrast the structure and function of a compound light microscope and a dissecting microscope. Be sure to discuss w

TiliK225 [7]

<span>Compound Microscope Compound microscope is commonly used in the schools and colleges. It comes under the category of microscopes used in biology. It has two lenses namely the objective lens and the ocular lens. It provides a magnification of 1500X. Eyepiece lens is of 10X or 15X power. It is used to observe bacterial, protozoa, various cells, etc.

</span><span>Dissecting Microscope It is also called stereo microscope. Its magnification power is less than the other microscope. It gives a 3 dimensional picture. Due to the low magnifying power they are used to observe little bigger objects than other microscopes. They are used in the surgeries, dissection, forensic science etc.</span>

ancestors of giraffes with shorter necks could not reach branches high up in trees for food. this led to selection for longer-ne

hichkok12 [17]

With shorter necks, giraffe ancestors could not reach food-containing branches on tall trees. This resulted in the directional selection of giraffes with longer necks.

<h3>Why is choosing a direction necessary? </h3>

It nearly appears obvious that the giraffe's long neck developed as a result of a lack of food in the lower branches of trees. The giraffe has a significant advantage because it is taller than any other mammal and can feed where few others can.

When compared to modern giraffes, the giraffe's ancient predecessors had a shorter neck. The plants that were lying at a higher level were inaccessible to them. Giraffe phenotypes have changed in various ways, and now have long necks to reach vegetation that is higher up. The extreme form is chosen above other features in directional selection. It was decided to choose the long-necked giraffe over the short-necked.
