You are doing lab work with a new species of beetle. You have isolated lines that breed true for either blue shells and long antenna, or green shells and short antenna. Crossing these lines yields F1 progeny with blue shells and long antennae. Crossing F1 progeny with beetles that have green shells and short antennae yields the following progeny:                                                                 Blue shell, long antenna                     82                                 Green shell, short antenna                 78                                 Blue shell, short antenna                    37                                 Green shell, long antenna                   43                                 Total                                                      240   A chi-square test is done to test for independent assortment.

In rabbits, an allelic series helps to determine coat color: C (full color), cch (chinchilla; gray color), ch (Himalayan; white with black extremities), and c (albino; all white). The C allele is dominant to all others, cch is dominant to ch and c, ch is dominant to c, and c is recessive to all the other alleles. This dominance hierarchy can be summarized as C > cch > ch > c. Indicate the phenotypic ratios expected if rabbits with the cross Cc ´ chc.
