Plump chicken body size (P) is dominant to skinny
chicken body size (p). Aggressive behavior (A) is dominant to
docile behavior (a). A male rooster is mated with a female chicken,
and both parents are heterozygous for both traits (i.e. both are
dihybrid). What are expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios among
their offspring?
Genotype of parent Rooster and chicken
PpAa×PpAa(both heterozygous)
Offsprings produced
Genotype | PA | Pa | pA | pa |
PA | PPAA | PPAa | PpAA | PpAa |
Pa | PPAa | PPaa | PpAa | Ppaa |
pA | PpAA | PpAa | ppAA | ppAa |
pa | PpAa | Ppaa | ppAa | ppaa |
So the genotypic ratio will be
PPAA:PPAa:PPaa:PpAA:ppAa:Ppaa:ppAA:ppAa:ppaa
1:2:1:2:4:2:1:2:1
And the phenotypic ratio would be
Plump agressive: plump docile: skinny aggressive: skinny docile
9:3:3:1.
