CAPE Biology Unit 1 · 2008 · Paper 2 · Question 2(d)

A group of students determined the Chi-squared value from the figures shown in Table 2, which represent a monohybrid cross between CC (colour enzymes) and cc (no enzyme for colour).

Complete the Chi-squared calculation in Table 2 and the final Chi-squared sum using the formula provided.
