In this test cross, Pp male and Pp female parents would reproduce offspring that will bear either purple or white flowers. Of the four offspring, three of them will bear purple flowers and one, white flower.
Of the purple flowers, one of them is homozygous PP and two of them are heterozygous Pp. Consider a case of breeding between two double heterozygous, having unlinked genes, i. Then, using this Punnett square:. To calculate the genotypic ratios, one can color the Punnett squares having similar allele combinations and then calculate the number of Punnett squares with the same color to arrive at the genetic ratios.
For a visual example, take a look at the figure below: a dihybrid cross of pea plants where two traits are considered:. In this test cross, YyRr male and female parents F1 generation would reproduce offspring that will yield offspring showing this type of pattern:.
The genotypic ratio in this example is 1 : 2 : 1 : 2 : 4 : 2 : 1 : 2 : 1 , which means:. For more complex cases like trihybrid cross , a large Punnett square is obtained, making it very complicated to calculate the genetic ratios. For such cases, the forked line method is used to find the genetic ratios.
In this example below, the trihybrid cross genotypic ratio is Join our discussion: What is the key to the recognition of codominance? This tutorial presents Gregor Mendel's law of dominance. Learn more about this form of inheritance and how it can be predicted using a Punnett square Read More.
Cystic fibrosis is a common example. If you inherit one "normal" allele or two "normal" alleles, you do not have cystic fibrosis.
It's only if you inherit two cystic fibrosis alleles that you have the disorder. Consequently, the cystic fibrosis allele is recessive.
In many cases, however, organisms can also exhibit incomplete dominance , in which case a combination of a recessive allele and a dominant allele creates an intermediate phenotype. In the flower example, for instance, incomplete dominance would occur if a combination of red and white allele made a pink flower. Count the number of each phenotype present in the Punnett square. Let's go back to our YY example. Your Punnett square contains one YY, two Yy and one yy, so your genotypic ratio is 1 : 2 : 1.
If Y is dominant and y is recessive, there are only two phenotypes because YY and Yy have the same phenotype, so your phenotypic ratio is 3 : 1 the two Yys plus the one YY make 3 of that phenotype. If this trait exhibits codominance or incomplete dominance, however, you have three phenotypes, because YY, Yy and yy all have different phenotypes, so in this case your phenotypic and genotypic ratios are the same: 1 : 2 : 1.
Based in San Diego, John Brennan has been writing about science and the environment since Determine how many rows and columns you need for your Punnett square grid. As previously shown, Y dominates y to determine seed color, and R factor for " round " dominates the r factor for " wrinkled " to determine seed shape. He then proceeded to test his hypothesis experimentally. The F 1 offspring are therefore all RrYy , and are all round and yellow. Independent assortment in test crosses. On the upper left, the female parent genotype is uppercase B lowercase b, uppercase E lowercase e.
Uppercase B, uppercase E is labeled to the left of the top quadrant; lowercase b, lowercase e is labeled outside the second left quadrant; uppercase B, lowercase e is labeled outside the third left quadrant; and lowercase b, uppercase E is labeled outside the fourth left quadrant. On the upper right, the male parent genotype is also uppercase B lowercase b, uppercase E lowercase e.
Uppercase B, uppercase E is labeled to the right of the top quadrant; lowercase b, lowercase e is labeled to the outside the second right quadrant; uppercase B, lowercase e is labeled outside the third right quadrant, and lowercase b, uppercase E is labeled outside the fourth right quadrant.
The offsprings' genotype and phenotype is represented in each of the cells of the Punnett square. Nine of the 16 cells contain brown-bodied flies with red eyes.
Of these nine flies, one has the genotype uppercase B, uppercase B, uppercase E uppercase E; four have the genotype uppercase B lowercase b, uppercase E lowercase e; two have the genotype uppercase B uppercase B, uppercase E lowercase e; and two have the genotype uppercase B lowercase b, uppercase E uppercase E.
Three cells contain brown-bodied flies with brown eyes. Of these three flies, one has the genotype uppercase B uppercase B, lowercase e lowercase e and two have the genotype uppercase B lowercase b, lowercase e lowercase e. Three cells contain black-bodied flies with red eyes. Of these three flies, one has the genotype lowercase b lowercase b, uppercase E uppercase E and two have the genotype lowercase b lowercase b, uppercase E lowercase e.
The final cell contains a black-bodied fly with brown eyes; this fly has the genotype lowercase b lowercase b, lowercase e, lowercase e. In another example of Mendel's independent assortment principle, a test cross between a heterozygous BbEe fly and a homozygous bbee fly will yield offspring with only four possible genotypes BbEe, Bbee, bbEe, and bbee and four possible phenotypes brown body with red eyes, brown body with brown eyes, black body with red eyes, and black body with brown eyes , as shown in Figure 2.
Thus, in this case, the ratio of phenotypes observed among the offspring will be 1 brown body, red eyes : 1 brown body, brown eyes : 1 black body, red eyes : 1 black body, brown eyes. On the upper right, the male parent genotype is lowercase b lowercase b, lowercase e lowercase e.
Lowercase b lowercase e is labeled to the right of the top quadrant, the second right quadrant, the third right quadrant, and the fourth right quadrant. Four of the 16 cells contain brown-bodied flies with red eyes. All four flies have the genotype uppercase B, lowercase b, uppercase E lowercase e. Four cells contain brown-bodied flies with brown eyes.
These flies have the genotype uppercase B lowercase b, lowercase e lowercase e. Four cells contain black-bodied flies with red eyes. These flies have the genotype lowercase b lowercase b, uppercase E lowercase e. The four remaining cells contain black bodied flies with brown eyes; these flies have the genotype lowercase b lowercase b, lowercase e, lowercase e. Exceptions to independent assortment.
