Answer:

Mendel's law of independent assortment states that the genes are separated and inherited independently of each other into the gametes.

The corn can be used to study the law if independent assortment as each kernel of the corn is its fruit. Thus, it is a result of sexual reproduction.

Single corn may contain 800-1000 kernels which may have different shape, texture, structure et cetera as result of independent assortment, that is, each kernel receives alleles of genes independent of each other.

For example, a gene responsible for the texture of kernel would be inherited independently of the gene responsible for the color of the kernel.

KengaRu [80]
Phat1 = 9/142
Phat 2 = 5/268
Phat 3 14/410
Test statistics = (Phat 1 - Phat 2) / (Square root of (phat × (1- phat))
times the square root of (1/n1 + 1/n2))
Test statistics = 2.373
P- value = 2× (1- normal cdf (2.373, 0, 1)) 
= 0.0176
At the level of significance, there is difference between the proportion of drug-resistant wihtin the two states.
