4. What is the mode of inheritance for the rare genetic trait pedigreed below?

1, (E) III 3, (F) III 5
5. In 1901, Bateson reported the first post-Mendelian study of a cross involving two characters. White leghorn chickens, having white feathers and large "single" combs, were crossed to Indian Game Fowl, having dark feathers and small "pea" combs. The F1 were white with pea combs, and the F2 distribution was: 111 white pea, 37 white single, 34 dark pea, and 8 dark single. What phenotypic ratio would you expect? Test your prediction using chi-square.
6. In rumbunnies large ears (E) is dominant to small ears (e) and tufted ears (T) is dominant to shaven ears (t). Two heterozygous rumbunnies are crossed, with the following results: 420 large tufteds, 189 small shavens, and 141 large shavens. How well do these results correspond with expectation if large ears are epistatic over ear hair length? If small ears are epistatic over ear hair length? Use chi-square.
