You carry out a cross between two pea plants. One is heterozygous for two genes controlling height and the
color, and the other is homozygous recessive. Based on the alleles present in the cross, you determine that if the
two genes assort independently (i.e., they are not linked closely together on the same chromosome), that a
1:1:1:1 ratio should be expected. You use the chi-square test to analyze the data, and determine that, for the data
in this cross, the p value for the hypothesis that the two genes are assorting independently is between 0.01 and
0.05, i.e., 0.05 > p > 0.01.
What is the interpretation of this p value?
Select one
a. The hypothesis is supported and the genes do not segregate independently.
b. The hypothesis is not supported and the genes segregate independently.
c. The hypothesis is not supported and the genes do not segregate independently.
d. The hypothesis is supported and the genes segregate independently
