Multiple Choice

In Drosophila, singed bristles (sn) and carnation eyes (car) are both caused by recessive X-linked alleles.The wild-type alleles (sn⁺ and car⁺) are responsible for straight bristles and red eyes, respectively.A sn car female is mated to a sn⁺ car⁺ male and the F₁ progeny are interbred.The F₂ are distributed as follows:
$$\begin{array} { | l | r | } \hline s n~ c a r & 55 \\\hline s n~ c a r^+ & 45\\\hline s n ^{+ c a r} & 45 \\\hline s n ^ { + c a r +} & \underline{55} \\\hline & 200 \\\hline\end{array}$$
-What is the p value from this test? (Pick the most accurate choice. )

• A)p > 0.5
• B)0.1 < p < 0.5
• C)p < 0.1
• D)p < 0.05
• E)p < 0.01
