Consider three yellow, round peas, labeled A, B, and C. Each was grown into a plant and crossed with a plant grown from a green wrinkled pea. Exactly 100 peas issuing from each cross were sorted into phenotypic classes as follows:
Progeny from A: 45 yellow, round 55 green, round
Progeny from B: 100 yellow, round
Progeny from C: 29 yellow, round 21 yellow, wrinkled 28 green, round 25 green, wrinkled
What were the genotypes of A, B, and C?
You would like to verify whether there is any indication of genetic linkage in the third cross. Perform a chi-square test (using the formula and chart from lecture slides or textbook) in order to determine if you have sufficient confidence that there is no statistical indication of linkage or otherwise (assume a cutoff of 0.05).
