The appearance of leaf pigment glands in the seedling stage of cotton plants is genetically controlled. According to one theory

Question:

The appearance of leaf pigment glands in the seedling stage of cotton plants is genetically controlled. According to one theory of the control mechanism, the population ratio of glandular to glandless plants resulting from a certain cross should be 11:5; according to another theory it should be 13:3. In one experiment, the cross produced 89 glandular and 36 glandless plants.45 Use goodness-of-fit tests (at α = 0.10) to determine whether these data are consistent with
(a) The 11:5 theory
(b) The 13:3 theory
