Dr. Delph conducted an experiment with fruit flies that vary in eye color. This variation is controlled by one locus with two alleles. During the experiment, she only allowed individuals with the same eye color to mate and contribute offspring to the next generation. At the end of the experiment, she wants to determine whether the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. She uses a chi-squared test to compare the expected and observed genotype frequencies. She computes a test statistic of 4. 567. Using the cut-off of alpha = 0.05, should accept or reject her null hypothesis that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
