Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a monohybrid cross, a cross between two individuals heterozygous for a single trait, the expected ratio of genotype in the F2 generation is 1:2:1 for homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive respectively. This means that 25% of the offspring will be homozygous recessive (possessing the recessive trait) and thus the expected percentage of offspring in F2 generation possessing the recessive trait would be 25%.
