Homework(3((((1. In tomatoes, red fruit (A-) is dominant to yellow (aa), and a tall stem (B-) is dominant to dwarf stems (bb). A series of matings between dihybrid tomato plants yields the following offspring: 557 tall, red-fruited plants 187 tall, yellow-fruited plants 192 dwarf, red-fruited plants 64 dwarf, yellow-fruited plants. Are the fruit-color and stem length genes independently assorting? Perform a chi-square test to support your argument, and clearly state the degrees of freedom and interpretation of the p-value you obtain. Use the chi-square table below to obtain your p-value.
