The phenotypic ratio of the offspring when a tall man marries a short woman is 3:1 (tall/short). The phenotypic ratio is figured by using the punnet square with the dominant allele for tall and the recessive allele for the short gene.

If you performed the Drosophila cross LL x ll what phenotypic ratio would you expect among the offspring?

You would expect a 1:1 ratio of offspring with a long body (LL) to offspring with a short body (ll) due to the incomplete dominance of the gene for body length in Drosophila.


A tall pea plant and a short pea plant produce short offspring this is an example of?

This was an example of tallness being a dominant phenotypic trait in pea plants


When Mendel crossed short tt pea plants with short pea plants the offspring were?

When Mendel crossed short tt pea plants (homozygous recessive) with short pea plants that were heterozygous for height (Tt), the offspring would display a phenotypic ratio of 1 short (tt) to 1 tall (Tt). This is because the short plants (tt) can only contribute recessive alleles, while the heterozygous plants (Tt) can contribute either a dominant (T) or a recessive (t) allele. Therefore, half of the offspring would be tall and half would be short.


What is the importance of a 9331 ratio in a monohybrid cross?

The phenotypic ratio expected from a monohybrid cross between heterozygotes is 3:1 (assuming complete dominance), with the genotypic ratio being 1:2:1. So, using tall = T, short = t and R = red, r = white as an example. A monohybrid cross of Tt X Tt would be expected to produce 3 tall plants and 1 short plant (phenotypic ratio 3:1), which would be 1 TT, 2 Tt and 1 tt (genotypic ratio 1:2:1). A dihybrid cross of heterozygotes is expected to produce a phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1. So the cross of TtRr X TtRr would be epected to have: 9 tall red, 3 tall white, 3 short red and 1 short white (phenotypic ratio) This is because each parent has 4 possible combinations of gametes (TR, Tr, tR and tr). There are therefore 16 combinations of gametes, providing a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio. Both of these are probably best visualised using a punnett square (see link below).


What did the second generation of plants looked like when Mendel allowed the offspring of the tall and short pea plants to self-pollinate?

When Mendel allowed the offspring of the tall and short pea plants to self-pollinate, the second generation (F2) exhibited a phenotypic ratio of approximately 3 tall plants to 1 short plant. This outcome demonstrated that the tall trait was dominant over the short trait. The F2 generation's variation confirmed Mendel's principles of inheritance, specifically the segregation of alleles during gamete formation. Thus, while most plants were tall, the presence of short plants indicated the recessive trait was still inherited.

What will be the ratio produced if Tt is crossed with tt?

The ratio produced would be 1:1 for heterozygous (Tt) offspring to homozygous recessive (tt) offspring. This is because the parent with genotype Tt will pass on one dominant allele (T) and one recessive allele (t) to its offspring, resulting in a 50% chance of either genotype in the offspring.


What is a phenotypic ratio?

A ratio that shows the different outcomes you can get from a genetic cross.A ratio that shows the varied outcomes that results from a genetic cross and is based on physical appearance alone. For example yellow flowers, round seeds, brown hair, green eyes etc.The genetic make up of an organism is called genotype and the external appearance or expression of the genetic make up is called phenotype (Color, height, shape etc.). The ratio indicates the number of heterozygotes and homozygotes with reference to the genotypic ratio and to the number of phenotypes expressed as phenotypic ratio. The concept was given by Sir Gregor Johann Mendel, Father of Genetics who worked on pea plant with reference to 7 different characters. The result obtained for a cross between a single character is called monohybrid cross and the ratio is referred to as monohybrid ratio which is 1:2:1 for genotypic ratio and 3:1 for phenotypic ratio.in the dihybrid cross for the phenotypic ratio it is 9:3:3:1.


In the p generation a tall plant was crossed with a short plant. Short plants reappeared in the f2 generation because?

A cross between members of the F1 generation (Tt x Tt), results in the genotypic ratio of 1TT:2Tt:1tt genotypes in the F2 generation. Because the tall allele is dominant, the phenotypic ratio would be 3 tall:1 short in the F2 generation.


Paul decides to cross his long haired guinea pig with a short haired guinea pigBoth were homozygous for their traitWhat is the genotypic ratio of the offspring?

The offspring will look more like the mom but they will have mid hair.


What is the expected phenotypic ratio resulting from a homozygous dominant?

I will use a simple example of Height...... T (tall) is dominant over t (short). So we have 2 ways to make a tall offspring: TT and Tt 't' is a recessive trait so it will take two 't's together to make a short offspring: tt Homozygous dominant means it has 2 of the same allele, and that this allele is the dominant one. So T T Heterozygous means it has 2 different alleles. So T t A monohybrid cross simply means "find out how this gene is inherited by the offspring". To answer the question we put the parents (TT and Tt) in a punnet square... .....T.......T T....TT...TT t.....Tt....Tt The phenotype (how they actually look) is tall for all 4 of them. TT is tall and Tt is also tall (even though they have a short 't' allele, the tall 'T' allele is dominant, making them tall anyway. Therefore the ratio of tall to short is 4:0 which can be reduced to 1:0


How many of the offspring would be short?

It depends on the genetics of the parents. If both parents carry a short gene, then all the offspring would have a chance of being short. If only one parent carries the short gene, then approximately half of the offspring would be short.


When Mendel crossed a true-breeding short plant with a true-breeding tall plant, all the offspring were tall. Which term describes the gene for tallness?

Dominant.


Will tall plants always have tall offspring?

no. in the second generation it will have a short offspring , but in the first generation it will have tall offspring
