In silkmoths (bombyx mori), red eyes (re)


In silkmoths (Bombyx mori), red eyes (re) and white-banded wing (wb) are encoded by two mutant alleles that re recessive to those that produce wild-type traits (re+ and wb+); these two genes are on the same chromosome. A moth homozygous for red eyes and white-banded wings is crossed with a moth homozygous for the wild-type traits. The F1 have normal eyes and normal wings. The F1 are crossed with moths that have red eyes and white-banded wings in a testcross. The progeny of this testcross are:
wild-type eyes, wild-type wings 418
red eyes, wild-type wings 19
wild-type eyes, white-banded wings 16
red eyes, white-banded wings 426



Use a chi-square test to test the hypothesis that the genes are assorted independently.
