3:1. (heterozygous parents)

AaBb: AB, Ab, aB, ab (4)
AABb: AB, Ab (2)

LLGg

8-What is the expected phenotypic ratio among offspring if both parents are heterozygous for both traits?
9 short, black | 3 short, red | 3 long, black | 1 long, red (9:3:3:1)

It averages out.

    In this experiment we are investigating the strength of the ratios discovered by Gregor Mendel in both the monohybrid and dihybrid cross. The ability to test these ratios stems from the use of Mendel’s law of segregation which states that during meiosis allele pairs will separate in gametes so one of each allele is present in a gamete. (Garey, et al,pg 8-13) These single alleles are then combined with the other parental gamete forming a new somatic cell. Another important law is the law of independent assortment which means that different gene pairs will separate independently of each other allowing two traits to be monitored at once.…

    Fruit Fly Genetics

    Drosophila, or fruit flies, was chosen for the study of X-Linked traits for multiple reasons. Fruit flies are small insects approximately 3mm long, and thus use minimal space when compared to other species. The diet of fruit flies is simple and does not require extraneous foods or materials (Ullrey 2011). Additionally, the life cycle of fruit flies is quite short, lasting approximately 26 days for a female and approximately 33 days for a male (Ullrey 20111). Lifecycles of flies may be altered based on environment or certain genetic mutations. From egg to adult takes approximately 10 days at room temperature (25°C) (Ullrey 2011). The short life span of fruit flies makes them an ideal subject for the study of genetics, as multiple generations can be studied in a short period of time.…

    In a cross pollination experiment between yellow and green pea plants exclusively, the first generation offspring was always yellow. However, the second generation consistently produced offspring in a ration of 3:1. This ration continued though out further generations. This means the first generation was homozygous but the second became heterozygous. These laws and experiments underline monohybrid inheritance because they form the basis of the punnett square, a visual representation of Mendelian Inheritance, which represents the probabilities of certain alleles being…

    In this experiment, given the nature of a dihybrid cross, the following hypothesis was formulated. According to Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance, the F2 generation of a dihybrid cross involving two traits of a homozygous recessive mutant and a homozygous wild-type is expected to yield a phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1. To evaluate whether the experiment follows the Mendel Laws, the null hypothesis (H0), a method of statistical analysis, states that the observed ratio of the phenotypes does not differ significantly from the expected ratio if the p-value is superior to 0.05 (Pierce,…
