Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a genetic cross, if the phenotypic ratio of the offspring is 9:3:3:1, what type of inheritance is being observed?
  • Step 1: Understand what a phenotypic ratio is. It shows the different traits that appear in the offspring.
  • Step 2: Recognize that a 9:3:3:1 ratio is a specific pattern that occurs when two traits are being studied.
  • Step 3: Identify that this ratio comes from a dihybrid cross, which involves two different traits, each with two alleles.
  • Step 4: Remember that in a dihybrid cross, the offspring can show combinations of these traits, leading to the 9:3:3:1 ratio.
