If you cross a plant Gg (G = yellow, g = green) Ww (W = round, w = wrinkled) with another GGww What will be the expected phenotypic reasons for the crossing? Assume inheritance of complete dominance.
Ans . The Punnett Square for the cross between GgWw and GGww is :-
GW | Gw | gW | gw | |
Gw | GGWw (yellow, round) | GGww( yellow, wrinkled) | GgWw (yellow, round) | Ggww(yellow , wrinkled) |
Genotypes are :- 1( GGWw) , 1(GGww) , 1 (GgWw) , 1 (Ggww)
phenotypes are :- 2 ( yellow , round ) and 2 ( yellow, wrinkled )
Phenotypic ratio :- 1 :1
Genotypic ratio :- 1:1:1:1
For a variety of reasons, the phenotypic ratios observed from real crosses rarely match the exact ratios expected based on a Punnett Square. There are many possible explanations for deviations from expected ratios. Sometimes, these deviations are due to sampling effects, in other words , the random selection of a non-representative subset of individuals for observation.
