Answer:
Law of Independent assortment
Explanation:
Gregor Mendel, who was regarded the father of Genetics, discovered principles that governs inheritance in his experiments. He discovered that the alleles of a gene will separate into gametes when he performed a crossed involving a single gene or character like height, pea color etc. He proposed his law of segregation based on this.
However, he considered two characters or genes in his cross, which he called a DIHYBRID cross. He discovered that the alleles of each different gene separates into gametes independently of one another i.e. without one gene influencing the other in each gamete. He called this principle his LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT.
He obtained a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio for the F2 dihybrid offsprings which is only possible if each gamete equally likely contains two alleles of the two different genes in different combinations.
Answer:
4.26
Explanation:
Let the green-melon parents be Gg, then we expect the cross with the yellow-melon plant gg so as to produce 50% Gg and other 50% of gg offspring. What we observed was that 53 green and a 41 yellow. Based on the total number of 94 offspring , we expected half and a half ratios to be 47 of each color.
Observed(o) Expected(e) (o-e)

Green-melon plant 53 47 6 36 0.766
Yellow-melon plant 41 47 -6 36 0.766
Therefore the chi-square value is 1.53 which is less than the critical value of 3.84. Therefore, the null hypothesis is accepted.
1). it either lowers or increases the activation energy. 2). it modifies the rate of the reaction
