1) A new mutation for blue eyes is seen on Drosophila melanogaster ( fruit fly). It is believed to be autosomal recessive. Homozygous wild type females (red eyes) are breed with blue-eyed males. The entire F2 generation has red eyes. The F2 generation is crossbred and the results are 39 blue-eyed flies and 107 red-eyed flies. a. What is your null hypothesis? (Hint: the foundation of this is always the same, that there is no statistical difference between your observed data and the expected data) b. Do a chi-square test to either accept or reject your null hypothesis. c. Explain why your null hypothesis is either accepted or rejected.
