In a cross that might show a 3:1 ratio of wild type to mutant we find 26 wild type and 10 mutant. What is the value of chi^2 for these numbers?
Added by Kathleen B.
Step 1
To calculate the expected number of wild type and mutant individuals, we need to use the expected ratio of 3:1. The total number of individuals in the cross is 26 + 10 = 36. Expected number of wild type individuals = (3/4) * 36 = 27 Expected number of mutant Show more…

The Curly wing mutation (CyO) is present on chromosome II of a Drosophila strain. You cross a female CyO fly to a wild-type male Drosophila with normal wings. Showing only the Chromosome II genotypes, the cross is: Female CyO/+ X +/+ Males. What is the expected ratio of curly wing flies to normal wing flies in the progeny of this cross?
