q show significant deviations from 1.0 for
the parameter c2 only and nearly signi-
ficant deviations for parameters a2 and b2.
The significances of these deviations
could not have been demonstrated con-
vincingly by an ordinary x2-test of the
segregation ratios. This is seen from table
19, where the total ^2 for all matings with
140 DF is 125.348. The corresponding x2
for matings with n g 20 with 30 DF is
37.566, none of these being signiiicant.
When the reciprocal mating are added
the corresponding ^2’s are actually rather
below expectation, and so give no indica-
tion of the disturbed ratios in matings
where the A2-allele is segregating.
The low obtained for the remainder
after estimation of the parameters in add-
