Question #2
If we self-pollinate a plant with the genotype RrggWw, we would use ________ to calculate the chances of getting offspring getting offspring homozygous for the R locus or for the W locus.
A.   Mendel's second law
B.   chi-squared
C.   sum law
D.   Mendel's 1st law
E.   product law
Question #3
An alternative method of predicting genotypes and phenotypes to the Punnett square, which can be expanded to more than two genes is:
A.   dihybrid cross.
B.   test cross.
C.   chi-squared test.
D.   a branch diagram.
Question #4
In determining the chi-squared value, the probability of difference occuring due to chance is dependent on the:
A.   degrees of freedom.
B.   degrees of fitness.
C.   dominant genotype.
D.   probability of freedom.
Question #5
In a chi-squared test in which the P value is between 0.9 and 0.5, :
A.   the null hypothesis would be rejected and differences are not due to chance.
B.   the null hypothesis would be accepted and differences are due to chance.
C.   the null hypothesis would fail to be accepted and differences are not due to chance.
D.   the outcome of the chi-squared analysis doesn't allow determination of the probability that differences between observed and expected phenotypes is due to chance.
