Flower Color and Shape A botanist performs a secondary cross of petunias involving independent factors that control leaf shape and flower color, where the factor A represents red color, a represents white color, B represents round leaves, and b represents long leaves. According to the Mend Elian model, the plants should exhibit the characteristics AB, Ab, aB, and ab in the ratio 9:3:3:1. Of 160 experimental plants, the following numbers were observed:
AB | Ab | aB | ab |
95 | 30 | 28 | 7 |
Is there sufficient evidence to refute the Mend elian model at the a = .01 level?
