Dihybrid cross: !
Cross between individuals diļ¬ering in two characters. !
Mendelās second law or the law of independent
assortment: !
During gamete formation segregation of the alleles of one
gene is independent of the segregation of the
alleles of another gene. !
!
Hypothesis testing with chi square (Ļ2): !
āHow well do the observed numbers agree with the hypothesised ratio, when each observation
falls into one or two mutually exclusive categoriesā. !
Firstly, need a null hypothesis H0 (e.g. 9:3:3:1).!
Secondly, look up signiļ¬cance on chi squared table (degrees of freedom would be 1). !
Use a P value of 0.05. If probability
value is greater than 0.05, H0 correct
and data ļ¬ts with hypothesis.!
