Please make a formal lab report. The first step is READ INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY! Please refer to all the pdfs. Use excel sheet as your results!
Important : The Null Hypothesis
• Is the hypothesis which you are testing: the
higher the p-value obtained, the more likely
that the data fits your hypothesis.
• Must be able to determine expected
numbers to allow their comparison with the
observed values
• Written as a proper sentence, and must
include all essential information
Your research/experimental hypotheses should be stated at the end of your Introduction and addressed thoroughly in your Discussion. These need to be something that can be tested through the observations of the generations from your crosses and through Chi-square analyses of the F2 generations.
Your null hypotheses are specific to each Chi-square analysis only. They should be clearly stated after explaining the choice (based on observation of the phenotypes in the generations and shown in the figure) and then you must provide all of the relevant information related to the analysis (X^2 value, dof, p-value range, and conclusion of the test). Do not discuss the relevance or validity of the result here.
Remember: your Chi-square test results and observations may not agree! That is okay. In your discussion you will address any agreement and disagreement between these and the literature. Don’t forget to suggest a possible explanation if things don’t fit neatly together!
