Question

Part 1: Monohybrid Cross—Predicting Freckles in an F1 GenerationApply your understanding of how alleles assort and combine during reproduction to evaluate a scenario involving a monohybrid cross.The allele for having freckles (F) is dominant over the allele for not having freckles (f). Some characteristics in people are inherited as simple dominant and recessive traits. One example is freckles. Freckles is a dominant trait, and the lack of freckles is a recessive trait. In this example, a person with freckles is represented as either FF or Ff, and a person with no freckles is represented as ff.2. Calculate the ratios of the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring in the F1 generation.Answer:Genotypes:Phenotypes:

Answer 1

The phenotypic ratios are the ratios of visible characteristics. The genotypic ratios are the ratios of gene combinations in the offspring, and these are not always distinguishable in the phenotypes.
