  1. To investigate the mode of inheritance of eye colour in dragon flies. Hypothesis: The purple allele is dominant to the green allele. Let P be the dominant allele for purple eye pigment and p’ be the recessive allele for green eye pigment. Dragonfly eye colourChristina Khoo and Selvi Nair PP X p’p’ Purple green Pp’ All purple The purple allele is dominant. Since the effect of the purple allele masks the effect of the green allele. Pp’ X Pp’ Purple purple PP Pp’ Pp’ pp 3 purple : 1 green The 3:1 ratio shows that P allele is dominant to p’ allele. This is a typical monohybrid ratio. Chi square test results show that there is no significant difference between the observed and expected ratio and hence follow the 3:1 monohybrid ratio.
