In your research lab, you want to know if the pigmented noses in
huskies follow Mendelian inheritance. The
allele P is dominant for pigmentation in the
nose and p is recessive for no pigmentation.
You conduct a series of crosses between heterozygous parents
(Pp) and observe 539 puppies with pigmented noses and 161
with no pigmentation.
What is the chi-square value of this cross?
