standard deviation.
Group C
(Answer any Two: Each question carries 10 Marks)
2X10=20
1. Find weather or not the following phenotype distribution in a sample of 96 flies from a
particular fruit fly population has a goodness of fit with the mendelian 9:3:3:1 distribution.
Phenotype Grey Body- Black body- Grey body- Black body-
Red eye Red eye scarlet eye scarlet eye
Frequencies 60 16 15 5
Critical value: The control value of chi-square ay 0.05 for df 3 is 7.82
2. In order to find the effect of Azolla growth on the rice field and experimentally grown Azolla
in 10 similar field plots before rice planting and other 10 similar plots were taken as control
without Azolla growth. Rice was grown in all these plots and yields were noted
Plot No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
With Azolla 15.3 15.8 16.1 17.0 15.5 16.5 16.2 15.5 17.1 16.3
Without Azolla 14.5 13.8 15.9 13.9 14.8 14.9 15.2 15.0 14.1 13.7
Verify whether there is any significant effect of Azolla growth on the gain field of rice.
Critical value: Tabulated value of t at 0.05 for df 18 is 2.10.
3. Compute the mean, median and S.D. from the following distribution
Scores 10-19 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 80-89 90-99
Frequency 2 5 3 5 8 12 25 30 10
4. In a laboratory among 60 Drosophila, 30 are male and 30 are female found. Further
segregated by the presence of mutation 21 mutated male, 25 mutated female, 9 normal male and
5 normal female are found. Find out the relationship between mutation and sex. Critical value:
chi-square value at df 1 at 0.05 is 3.84
