Complete the punnett square for the following cross-pollination and give the genotypic and phenotypic ratios: for white (ww) and black (ww) female: x male: ww male: ww

Punnett Squares are used to demonstrate the genotypic and phenotypic ratio of a certain trait in an organism. The cross between the traits can be monohybrid, dihybrid, or trihybrid.

In the given cross, the WW stands for white, whereas ww stands for black.

The cross between the heterozygous white female (Ww) with the black male (ww) is given in the attachment below.

Thus, the ratio is 1:1.

To know more about Punnett square, refer to the following link;

Phenotypic ratio= 1:1

Genotypic ratio = 1:1

Explanation:

This is a monohybrid cross involving a single gene that specifies a color phenotype.

According to the question, WW, which is homozygous dominant i.e same allele is white while ww, which is homozygous recessive is black.

Hence a genotype Ww will possess a white phenotype since the W allele will mask the expression of w.

In a cross between a female and male with a a Genotype Ww and ww respectively. The parents alleles will be separated into gametes according to Mendel's law of segregation. (See attached image).

Ww will produce gametes W and w

ww will produce gametes w and w

The four possible offsprings will have Ww (2) and ww (2) genotypes. Hence two of them will be white while two will be black.

Hence, the phenotypic ratio will be 1:1 while the genotypic ratio will also be 1 Ww: 1 ww

answer: accepted answer: aquatic animals use the oxygen dissolved in water to carry out respiration. since the amount of dissolved oxygen in water is low as compared to the amount of oxygen in the air, therefore the rate of breathing in aquatic animals is much faster than it is in terrestrial animals.
