In Mendel's dihybrid cross experiment, what phenotypic ratio is expected in the offspring if the genes assort independently?

What is the purpose of calculating a chi-square ($\chi^2$) value in the context of Mendel's experiments?

In Mendel's dihybrid cross data, if the calculated $\chi^2$ value is 4.13 with 3 degrees of freedom, and the corresponding p-value is 0.25, what conclusion can be drawn?

Mendel's laws of inheritance directly refuted which prevailing idea about heredity?

In a dihybrid cross involving two traits, if the observed numbers of offspring phenotypes are purple/tall (372), purple/short (113), white/tall (126), and white/short (29) out of a total of 640, which calculation is used to determine the expected number of purple/tall offspring, assuming independent assortment?

Which process directly leads to the segregation of alleles, as described by Mendel's Law of Segregation?

In a monohybrid cross, if the F1 generation consistently displays the trait of only one parent, which principle is being demonstrated?

A plant has the genotype AaBb for two independently assorting genes. What proportion of its gametes will be Ab, assuming independent assortment?

What is the expected outcome of a reciprocal cross?

In the context of quantitative traits, which equation best represents the relationship between phenotype, genotype, and environment?

Mendel chose pea plants for his experiments for several reasons. Which of the following is NOT one of the reasons?

If a plant with the genotype 'Aa' self-pollinates, and 'A' is dominant for purple flowers while 'a' is recessive for white flowers, what proportion of the F1 generation would you expect to have white flowers?

What is the most accurate definition of an allele?

In Mendelian genetics, what distinguishes alleles from genes?

What is the primary difference between the F1 and F2 generations in Mendelian genetics?

Which of the following best describes Mendel's approach to studying inheritance?

If 'D' represents the dominant allele for tall plants and 'd' represents the recessive allele for dwarf plants, what genotypes would be considered homozygous?

Suppose a researcher is studying a Mendelian trait in pea plants and observes a 3:1 phenotypic ratio in the F2 generation. What can they infer about the genotypes of the F1 generation?

If a true-breeding tall plant (TT) is crossed with a true-breeding dwarf plant (tt), what will be the genotype of the F1 generation?

A pea plant with round seeds (RR) is crossed with a pea plant with wrinkled seeds (rr). All the F1 generation plants have round seeds. If two plants from the F1 generation are crossed, what is the probability of obtaining a plant with wrinkled seeds in the F2 generation?

In the context of Mendelian genetics, what does the reappearance of a trait in the F2 generation that was absent in the F1 generation indicate?

In a chi-square test, what does a high P-value (e.g., 0.54) indicate regarding the null hypothesis?

How is the number of degrees of freedom (df) calculated in a chi-square test?

A researcher performs a cross between two pea plants with the genotype Pp. They observe 650 purple flowers and 270 white flowers. Using a chi-square test, they calculate a χ2 value of 2.5 and have 1 degree of freedom. Based on a critical χ2 value of 3.841 (p=0.05), what conclusion can they draw?
