Lab Activity 1 – Part 1: FlyLab JS Simulations and Chi-square analysis (50 pts)
List the names of the students you are working with:
1. Design a wild-type female fly and cross it to a male fly with curved wings.
a. What is the phenotype(s) of the offspring?
b. Perform an F2 cross using the progeny from the F1 cross. What do the
offspring look like?
Phenotype # of Males # of Females
c. Perform the reciprocal cross. What is the appearance of the F1 and F2
offspring?
d. Create a hypothesis of the mode of inheritance for curved wings.
i. Null hypothesis:
ii. Alternative hypothesis:

e. Perform a Chi-square analysis to determine the validity of your null
hypothesis.
Phenotype Observed Expected O-E (O-E)2 (O-E)2/E
X2:
i. What is your Chi-square value?
ii. Do you reject of fail to reject the null hypothesis? Explain.
iii. Write a 1-2 sentence conclusion about the gene causing curved
wing phenotype.
