Fruit color in eggplants is controlled by a single autosomal gene, R, with two alleles R and r
When a homozygous plant that produces purple fruit (RR) is crossed with a homozygous plant
that produces white fruit (rr), all F1 offspring produce violet eggplants. When the F1 progeny are
testcrossed, the F2 progeny produce 160 violet eggplants, and 154 white eggplants. Design a
hypothesis for the mode of inheritance of eggplant color (explicitly state your null and alternate
hypotheses). Test this hypothesis using a chi-squared test. Use the chi-squared critical value
table provided to determine the outcome of your statistical test.
Explain the results obtained (i.e. interpret the p-value).
