Understand the Problem

The question is asking which table provides the expected values for the F2 generation in a chi-square goodness-of-fit test, specifically related to a genetic model of independent assortment. The user is looking for the correct representation of phenotypic ratios and their expected counts.

Answer

The table suggests a 1:1:1:1 ratio, not 9:3:3:1.

The table does not correctly represent a typical chi-square test for independent assortment due to the equal expected values, which suggest a 1:1:1:1 ratio rather than the expected 9:3:3:1 ratio in this context.

Answer for screen readers

The table does not correctly represent a typical chi-square test for independent assortment due to the equal expected values, which suggest a 1:1:1:1 ratio rather than the expected 9:3:3:1 ratio in this context.

More Information

In Mendelian genetics, dihybrid crosses showing independent assortment will follow a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio, not equal expected values.

Tips

Avoid assuming equal expected values for a dihybrid cross chi-square test without considering the correct phenotypic ratio.
