  • wild type normal nature, not mutated
  • mutate quickly
  • What is the chi square test used for?
  • statistical test that makes a comparison between the data collected in an experiment versus the date you expected to find
  • chi square test is a way to evaluate this variability to get an idea of the difference between real and expected results are due to normal random chance
  • or if there is some other factor involved (like an unbalanced coin or a different inheritance scheme than the one you predicted
Why is probability important to genetics?

  • classical genetics research where you are trying to determine the inheritance pattern of a phenotype --> establish a predicted genetic explanation and expected phenotype rations in the offspring (from Punnett square) = null hypothesis
  • compare observed results against your genetic hypothesis (Punnett square)
A geneticist crossed wild gray-colored mice with white (albino) mice. All the progeny were gray. These progeny were intercrossed to produce an f2 which consisted of 198 gray and 72 white mice. Propose a hypothesis to explain.
