In sesame,the one-pod condition (P)is dominant to the three-pod condition (p),and normal leaf (L)is dominant over wrinkled leaf (l).The two characters are inherited independently.A cross between two members of the F1 generation produces the following progeny: 318 one-pod normal,185 one-pod wrinkled,323 three-pod normal and 184 three-pod wrinkled.Determine,using chi-square analysis whether the data fits the typical 9:3:3:1 ratio.Show your work
