A cross was made between two strains of plants that are agriculturally important. One strain was disease-resistant but herbicide-sensitive; the other strain was disease-sensitive but herbicide- resistant. A plant breeder crossed the two plants and then allowed the F1 generation to self- fertilize. The following data were obtained: F1 generation: All offspring are disease-sensitive and herbicide-resistant
F2 generation: 157 disease-sensitive, herbicide-resistant
57 disease-sensitive, herbicide-sensitive
54 disease-resistant, herbicide-resistant
20 disease-resistant, herbicide-sensitive
Total: 288 Formulate a hypothesis that you think is consistent with the observed data. Test the goodness of fit between the data and your hypothesis using a chi square test. Explain what the chi square results mean.

1. the passing of is the basis of heredity. 2. our encode the instructions that define our traits. 3. each of us has thousands of genes, which are made of and reside in our chromosomes. 4. in addition to our genes, the we live in also define our traits. 5. humans have two complete sets of chromosomes. 6. when parents conceive a child, each parent contributes set of chromosomes. 7. every child receives of its chromosomes from the mother and half from the father. 8. this transfer takes place at when the father’s sperm joins the mother’s egg. 9. while most cells in our bodies have two sets of chromosomes, or a total of egg and sperm each have chromosomes. 10. when egg and sperm unite they create a single cell called a 11. each parent contributes complete set of chromosomes to their child. 12. since the parents contribute the chromosomes to each new child, every child inherits a unique set of chromosomes. 13. as a result, every baby will have a combination of traits.

Amniocentesis is a process in which amniotic fluid is taken from the mother's womb to identify any genetic abnormalities in the fetus. how would the discovery of the human genome contribute to this process?
