Question

Problems. Please calculate and/or hypothesize answers to the following questi problems. You may use another sheet of paper. 1. After you complete college, you decide to marry an entomologist. While on your honeymoon with your spouse in Costa Rica, you come across a new insect species. Upon getting approval from the Costa Rican government, you and your entomologist take a few male and female insects back to the US so you can study them. You pick a female insect with a purple body and green eyes, while your spouse chooses a male insect with an orange body and brown eyes. Back in the lab, you and your spouse breed the insects so that you, a geneticist, can understand how body color and eye color are inherited among this newly discovered species. Your crosses results in the following progeny:
28 female, purple body and green eyes
12 female, purple body and brown eyes
29 female, orange body and green eyes
8 female, orange body and brown eyes
9 male, purple body and green eyes
29 male, purple body and brown eyes
7 male, orange body and green eyes
30 male, orange body and brown eyes
After looking at these results, what can you conclude about the inheritance of body and eye color in these insects? What is your hypothesis of the inheritance of both traits? Please conduct a chi square test to determine if you support or reject your hypothesis. Please provide the genotypes of the parents and their offspring.
