Question

- Using Punnett Squares, show Mendel’s F1 crosses that led to the outcomes on which he based his findings. BE SURE to include any genotype and phenotype ratios that were reported from the experiments. Use the appropriate cases of the letters ‘P or p’ for pea flower color (purple is dominant to white) and ‘T or t’ for plant height (tall is dominant to dwarf) for the appropriate appropriate alleles in your work. You do NOT have to fill in the squares, simply set up the arrangements of gametes and the square. please include the ratios

Explanation / Answer

Parental phenotype: True breeding tall plant (TT) crossed with true breeding dwarf plant (tt)

Parental genotype: TT x tt

Gametes: T and t

F1: Tt (all are tall plants)

F2: Tt x Tt

Offsprings= 1TT:2Tt:1tt

Phenotypic ratio: 3 tall:1 dwarf


Parental phenotype: True breeding purple plant (PP) crossed with true breeding white plant (pp)

Parental genotype: PP x pp

Gametes: P and p

F1: Pp (all are purple plants)

F2: Pp x Pp

Offsprings= 1PP:2Pp:1pp

Phenotypic ratio: 3 Purple: 1 white
