Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the expected genotype ratio from a cross between two heterozygous individuals (Aa x Aa)?
  • Step 1: Understand that 'Aa' means one dominant allele (A) and one recessive allele (a).
  • Step 2: Set up a Punnett square to visualize the cross between two Aa individuals.
  • Step 3: Write the alleles of one parent (Aa) on the top of the Punnett square and the alleles of the other parent (Aa) on the side.
  • Step 4: Fill in the Punnett square by combining the alleles from each parent.
  • Step 5: The combinations you will get in the squares are: AA, Aa, Aa, and aa.
  • Step 6: Count the genotypes: 1 AA, 2 Aa, and 1 aa.
  • Step 7: Write the ratio of the genotypes: 1 AA : 2 Aa : 1 aa.
