Document Summary

This means that the probability of a new plant having the big a big a genotype is 25% or . Similarly, the probability of inheriting both little a alleles is times. The probability of the f2 plants having the heterozygous genotype (big a little a) is going to be twice that, or 50%, because there are two ways that this combination could occur, as seen in the punnett square. When the f1 offspring produce gametes, these are produced such that half the possible gametes would contain big a and half would contain little a. The expected ratio of f2 generation offspring with the dominant to recessive trait would be 3:1. Therefore, punnett square analysis accounts for the 3:1 phenotypic ratio of traits that is observed in the f2 generation. However, by looking solely at the phenotype, it is not possible to know of the underlying genotype. Mendel hypothesized that there was an underlying genotypic ratio of.
