Guys, I really don't know why you guys are over-complicating the problem. In part (a) to the question, you can clearly see that the 'without tail' allele is dominant, and that the gene is autosomal (not sex-linked).
In cross 1, you have two parents 'without a tail'. As you have some offspring that do have tails, you can be sure that both parents are heterozygous. If one of them were homozygous, then ALL the offspring would be 'without a tail'.
Now, we know that when two heterozygous parents cross, the ratio of the phenotypes of the offspring would be 3:1 (dominant allele:recessive allele).
In this case, we have two heterozygous parents, out of every 4 offspring, we expect 3 of them to be 'without a tail' and 1 to have a tail. So 3/4 of the offspring are expected to be 'without a tail' and 1/4 with a tail. This is just a simple monohybrid cross.
Now, to get the expected number of offspring:
Total number of offspring = 40 + 72 = 112 (taken from the observed results)
Expected number of offspring with a tail = (3/4) * 112 = 84
Expected number of offspring without a tail = (1/4) * 112 = 28
LOL no problem*face palm* Oh God...i feel stupid now Thanks yo!
Oy! Grab your head..that's when the brain wants to run away b4 the exam!! I talk with experience
i know that but seriously i thought bio was the easiest subject in the universe! but a2 changed my views!
it is the best...it's just the stats part i really hate.. bio is my favorite..i describe my world in terms of bio
LOL..please don't run away now..i know i'm a weirdo
no u arnt.. even p5 could not stop me loving bio either! and u are not a weirdo u r an awsumazing person!
nah...C'mon..you're making me feel so shy now..hehehe..
You're an epic person too
i know that but seriously i thought bio was the easiest subject in the universe! but a2 changed my views!
standard deviationplz give me some tips on the stats portion of biology.. i don't take maths and i m having very difficulty in doing those..
nah...
more info if u need em
a monohybrid cross results in a 9:3:3:1 ratio whereas a dihybrid cross gives a 3:1 ratio
a monohybrid cross is performed only once, whereas a dihybrid cross is performed twice.
Monohybrid- tall and short: TT tt
Dihybri-tall and fat..short and thin: TTFF and ttff
where E(dat weird symbol) = sum ofplz give me some tips on the stats portion of biology.. i don't take maths and i m having very difficulty in doing those..
yeah that's right...i typed it wrong..n thankyouAs far as i know monohybrid is 3:1 and dihybrid is 9:3:3:1 Right?
where E(dat weird symbol) = sum of
x=individual values in the sample
n= total no of individuals in the sample

Actually, most scientific calculators have a cute little "standard deviation" button. It has the small Greek "sigma" sign.standard deviation
- Calculate the mean or average of each data set. To do this, add up all the numbers in a data set and divide by the total number of pieces of data. For example, if you have found numbers in a data set, divide the sum by 4. This is the meanof the data set.
- Subtract the devianceof each piece of data by subtracting the mean from each number. Note that the variance for each piece of data may be a positive or negative number.
- Square each of the deviations.
- Add up all of the squared deviations.
- Divide this number by one less than the number of items in the data set. For example, if you had 4 numbers, divide by 3.
- Calculate the square root of the resulting value. This is the sample standard deviation.
