Question

If you cross the genotype Pp with pp, the possible genotypes in offspring are

Answer 1

If you cross Pp with pp this is what you will get, Pp, Pp, pp, and pp

Answer 2

Answer:

Pp and pp

the genotypic ratio is 2Pp: 2 pp

Explanation:

When doing the cross you can consider the possibility of the outcome through a punnet square or probability.

A punnet square is the best option to do so, however.

Make a grade with four boxes and place one allele of one genotype over each box like this

            P                                        p

                                   |||||||||||||||||||

      ---------------------------------------------------------------

                                   |||||||||||||||||||    

Add the letters of the other genotype next to the boxes.

            P                                        p

p                                   |||||||||||||||||||

      ---------------------------------------------------------------

p                               |||||||||||||||||||    

Now put one allele in the box, like you are multiplying the letters

            P                                        p

p           Pp                 |||||||||||||||||||   pp

      ---------------------------------------------------------------

p                Pp           |||||||||||||||||||    pp

Now you have done a punnet square
