A certain fish who undergoes normal sexual reproduction can be red or yellow and skinny or fat. There are established true breeding lines of skinny red and fat yellow organisms. Traits are inherited in a Mendelian manner.
1. If you were to cross a skinny red fish to a fat yellow fish. All fish in the F1 generation are fat and red. If a fish from the F1 population is crossed with a skinny red fish from the true breeding population, what are the expected genotypic outcomes in the next generation?
From the above answers, an F1 fish is crossed with a wild fat yellow fish whose offspring are both fat and skinny. There are 36 fat red, 44 fat yellow, 7 skinny red, and 9 skinny yellow offspring. Use Chi square analysis to determine whether the observed pattern is consistent with these traits being Mendelian.
