Q:

A scientist is studying a population of lizards with three different color phenotypes. The color phenotype is controlled by a single gene with two alleles: an incompletely dominant allele A and a recessive allele a. The scientist collected data on the color of 100 lizards. The data are shown in the table. To test the hypothesis that the population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the scientist performed a chi-square test. Which of the following values is closest to the chi-square value the scientist calculated? A ₹0.1 B 1.9 C 18.3 23.1
