In a species of plants, axial flowers are dominant to terminal flowers and the trait for height is incompletely dominant. A medium height plant with axial flowers (double heterozygote) is crossed with another double heterozygote plant. What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratio of the offspring?

  1. Axial - A
    Terminal – a
    T1 – tall
    T2 – short

    Aa x T1 T2 combined with Aa x T1 T2
    their offspring will be

    A T1 = Axial tall
    A T1 T2 = Axial medium height
    A T1 T2 = Axial medium height
    a T2 = terminal short

    25% axial/tall
    50% axial/medium height
    25% terminal short

  2. A- Axial T- tall
    a-Terminal t- short

    Aa*Tt combined with Aa*Tt in a punnet square.

    Results will be
    1/4 (25%)- Axial/tall
    2/4 (50%)- Axial/Medium height
    1/4 (25%)- Terminal/Short

  3. A=axial
    a=terminal
    T1=tall
    T2=short
    Aa x T1T2 with Aa x T1T2= offspring will have the following genotyoes
    AT1=axial tall 25%
    2 AT1T2= axial medium height 50%
    aT2=terminal short 25%

  7. Alex, you are partially right but check your math. Arleen you don't have the phenotypic ratios. The rest of you need to try again.
