Fill a the Punnett Square. Big ears are dominant over small
ears; the two possible alleles are B and b. The parents have the
following genotypes. Parent 1: Bb and Parent 2: bb. Describe the
genotype of each parent.
Identify the ratio for the phenotypes that are possible in the
progeny.
Parent 1 is heterozygous Bb. So the phenotype is big ears as the dominant phenotype gets expressed in heterozygous conditions.
Parent 2 is homozygous recessive bb. So the phenotype is small ears as the recessive phenotype is expressed in homozygous conditions.
The cross between these parents produces a 1:1 ratio of big and small ears offsprings respectively.
Thanks
