Mendelian Genetics and Punnett Squares Overview

These flashcards cover key concepts and outcomes related to Mendelian genetics and Punnett squares, providing a comprehensive review for students.

What is the result of crossing Rr with Rr in Mendelian genetics?

The offspring can be RR, Rr, rr, with the ratio of 1:2:1.

In a cross of TT and tt, what are the possible genotypes of the offspring?

All offspring will be Tt.

What is the outcome of crossing Tt with tt in terms of potential genotypes?

Offspring can be Tt and tt in a ratio of 1:1.

When crossing Bb with bb, what genotypes can result?

The genotypes can be Bb and bb in a 1:1 ratio.

If FF is crossed with ff, what are the possible offspring genotypes?

All offspring will be Ff.

What are the results of a Tt x Tt cross?

Offspring can be TT, Tt, and tt in a ratio of 1:2:1.

What is the outcome of crossing Ss with SS?

Offspring could be SS and Ss.

In a cross of PpTt with PpTt, what are the possible genotype combinations?

The combinations can vary, producing multiple genotypes in a complex ratio.

What does the offspring look like when crossing PpTt with pptt?

The potential offspring can include PpTt, Pptt, ppTt, and pptt.

What is the general purpose of a Punnett square in genetics?

To predict the genotypes and phenotypes of offspring from genetic crosses.
