Think of it this way.... Parents will donate only one allele (one letter) to it's offspring. So if you have RR x rr

Let's say the dad is RR ...

  • Phenotypic and Genotypic Ratios in Fruit Offspring

    508515 Phenotypic and Genotypic Ratios in Fruit Offspring In tomatoes, red fruit (R) is dominant to yellow fruit (r). A homozygous red-fruited plant is bred to a yellow-fruited plant.

  • Frequency of offspring for X linked dominant trait

    Calculates expected offspring's eye color frequency in crosses of fruit flies where eye color is on the X chromosome and red eyes R is dominant of white eyes r.

  • Wolf probability

    We can verify this because 48% of the red wolves carry the brown allelle, and yet they are still red. Let's call the red allele R and the brown allele r. It is common to give both alleles the same letter and make the dominant one capital.

  • Mendelian Genetics

    For each of the traits, each person has two alleles. The alleles can be recessive (R) or dominant (D). Therefore, any person is DD, RR, or DR.

  • Population Genetics

    Let us use R and r as the two alleles. R is the dominant allele and r is the recessive red allele. Therefore, we have 3 possibilities: RR, Rr, and rr. Since 23% have the r allele, we know that the total percentage of Rr and rr = 23%.

  • Mendel's Law and Genetics

    , the cross must have homozygous dominant and homozyous recessive: If we let R= round and r=wrinked, we have RR X rr Rr( round) Using two characters, we have the cross YyRR X yyrrr ---> 1/2 YyRr 1/2 yyRr Cross

  • Using Rules of Probability to Solve Genetics Problems

    For example, in the Rr x Rr cross, what's the probability of having an offspring with the genotype RR or rr? Translate this into: (R AND R) OR (r AND r): (1/2 x 1/2) + (1/2 x 1/2) = 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2.
