4. In rats, black fur color is dominant to white fur color, and pointy ears are dominant to round ears. You cross a homozygous black, pointy eared rat to a homozygous white, round eared rat. You then Cross one of the F1 offspring to a homozygous white, round eared rat, and obtain the following progeny: 88 black, pointy eared rats; 92 white, round eared rats; 76 black, round eared rats; 81 white, pointy eared rats. Perform a chi-square test of independence to determine if the genes for fur color and ear shape are linked, or assort independently. Show all of your work 1. In a cross between mice the genotypes AB/ab x ab/ab, what is the recombination frequency if the progeny numbers are 72 AB/ab, 68 ab/ab, 17 Ab/ab, and 21 aB/ab?
