The phenotype is just a characteristic/trait.
For instance Brown and Green are phenotypes of eye color.
This can also be used in Punnet Squares, and could be displayed as B and G.
B equaling dominant Brown, and G = dominant Green, vice versa to g and b where they are recessive.
Answer:
1/4
Explanation:
A heterozygous woman for both traits (RrFf) marries with a man with no freckles (ff) who can't roll his tongue (rr).
The cross is: RrFf X rrff.
The woman can produce the gametes <em>RF, Rf, rF </em>and <em>rf</em>
The man can only produce <em>rf </em>gametes.
<u>The possible offspring that can arise from the combination of those gametes is:</u>
- 1/4 RrFf Freckled, tongue-rolling
- 1/4 Rrff Freckled, unable to roll tongue
- 1/4 rrFf Not freckled, tongue-rolling
- 1/4 rrff Not freckled, unable to roll tongue
Interestingly, sexual proliferation includes treatment of sperm and egg, which makes more hereditary variety, as do subprocesses inside this cycle like getting over during prophase.
This is in my own words! So no plagiarism!
