Here is the actual data from the 2nd generation of Mendel's experiments. Calculate the ratio of dominant offspring to recessive offspring for each characteristic, (do this: Dominant trait / recessive trait)
Characteristic
Dominant Trait
Recessive Trait
Ratio (show your work)
Flower color
705 purple
224 white
705 / 224 = 3.15... so 3.15:1
Seed color
6,002 yellow
2,001 green
Seed shape
5,474 round
1,850 wrinkled
Pod color
428 green
152 yellow
Pod shape
882 smooth
299 bumpy
Flower position
651 along stem
207 at tip
Plant height
787 tall
277 short
14. Round off all numbers in the ratios to whole numbers. What ratio do you get?
