Presentation Transcript

  1. Corn Genetics &Chi- Square Goodness of Fit Test Pedigrees and probability analysis to follow.

  2. Outline • Highlight some key points in syllabus • Corn color and collection of data (phenotypes) • Chi-Square Analysis

  3. Corn genetics Lab

  4. Application of Chi-Square Analysis • The color pattern in corn is due to multiple genes • Are variations in number of observed phenotypes due to chance alone?

  5. Objectives • Collect data from a population of corn and then perform Chi-Square • Interpret your findings

  6. Variation of colors—Why?

  7. Corn Kernel Color • Color of aleurone masks endosperm color • Only with colorless aleurone can endosperm color be determined • Determined by several genes • Refer to genotypes in lab manual!

  8. Gene interaction can occur:Epistasis is a form of gene interaction in which one gene masks the phenotypic expression of another.

  9. Today there are: 3 crosses of corn F1 X F1 Multiple alleles are tested for expression in F2 generation

  10. Note color differneces • Cross C • Cross D (darker color is purple) • Cross F (call purple, may look red!)

  11. Genetic information regarding the corn color patterns are provided in your lab manual.

  12. F1 phenotype F1 X F1 genotypes Yellow YYC’CRr X YYC’CRr Cross C

  13. F1 phenotype F1 X F1 genotypes Purple yyPpRr X yyPpRr Cross D

  14. F1 phenotype F1 X F1 genotypes Purple yyCcRr X yyCcRr Cross F

  15. Chi Square Statistical “Goodness of Fit Test” • Why do we use it? • . • To find out determine if probability of observed event is due to chance alone. An example of how to calculate a Chi Square

  16. Application of Chi Square

  17. Probability Problems • Review of some probability problems
