Mendal's Experiment

Featured Replies

I'm having a little trouble figuring this out, can anybody help me understand how to do this?

 

If A is dominant to a, in the cross between Aa x aa, what percentage of individuals will have the A phenotype? What are all the possible genotypes?

 

Thanks!

Do a punnett square to figure it out. You won't learn your Mendelian genetics if you have us do it for you.

When I do the punnett square I get that 50% would have the dominant A phenotype and the possible genotypes would be Aa, aa, Aa, aa. Is this correct? I don't want the answer if it's not, I will just run through the steps again. Thanks

Yes, that's right.

Good. I didn't mean to sound harsh before. Only one way to learn.....

You weren't being harsh, you just wanted me to do it on my own. I completely understand. I'm sure there are many people that come to this site just to get an answer. I just need help because I'm not that knowledgable in science and I just need some guidence once in awhile. Thanks again!
