Discuss about the distribution of offspring

Question: Testing a genetic model Biologists wish to cross pairs of tobacco plants having genetic makeup Gg, indicating that each plant has one dominant gene (G) and one recessive gene (g) for color. Each offspring plant will receive one gene for color from each parent. The Punnett square below shows the possible combinations of genes received by the offspring

The Punnett square suggests that the expected ratio of green (GG) to yellow-green (Gg) to albino (gg) tobacco plants should be 1:2:1. In other words, the biologists predict that 25% of the off spring will be green, 50% will be yellow-green, and 25% will be albino. To test their hypothesis about the distribution of offspring, the biologists mate 84 randomly selected pairs of yellow-green parent plants. Of 84 offspring, 23 plants were green, 50 were yellow-green, and 11 were albino. Do the data provide convincing evidence at the a = 0.01 level that the true distribution of offspring is different from what the biologists predict?
