Bean plants may have different symptoms when infected with a virus. Some show local lesions that do not seriously harm the plant; others show general systemic infection. The following genetic analysis was made: What is the likely genetic basis of this difference in beans? Evaluate your hypothesis using a chi-square test. Assign gene symbols to the genotypes occurring in the genetic analysis. Design a testcross to verify your assumptions.

You can do it.

Explanation:

The likely genetic basis seen is probably due to the presence of two alleles. One allele for local lesions and one allele for systemic infections.
