In a dihybrid cross with genotypes JjQq and JJQq, what is the probability of getting an offspring with genotype JjQq?

valentina_108 [34]

There is a 1:4 chance of getting JjQq. The parent JjQq can produce four genotypes: JQ, Jq, jQ, and jq. the parent JJQq can produce two genotypes: JQ and Jq. When we do a punnett square:
JJQQ, JJQq, JjQQ, JjQq,
JJQq, JJqq, JjQq, and Jjqq
There are two JjQq.
Two out of eight is one out of four.
