Abstract

Objectives 1. Understand Mendel’s first and second laws of inheritance. 2. Observe examples of Mendel’s monohybrid and dihybrid crosses and perform a chi-square test on his results. 3. Be able to recognize a monohybrid cross and a dihybrid cross. 4. Know the function of a test cross and be able to recognize a test cross. 5. State a hypothesis for the genotype of an ear of Indian corn. Test the hypothesis and perform a chi-square test on your results.
