I had to cross and follow the inheritance pattern of Drosophila flies with white eyes. This is a sex-linked recessive trait and is supposed to show up as a 1:1:1:1 ratio. How do I calculate an exact ratio from the data I generated?
F, whi: 103/424
F, red: 118/424
M, whi: 107/424
M, red: 96/424
I understand that it basically supports the 1-1-1-1 ratio, especially through the use of a Chi-square test, but since these values aren't exactly the expected 106-106-106-106 that they're "supposed" to be, what is the exact ratio for my data? Is it still technically 1-1-1-1? How do I go about calculating it?
Thanks!
