Genetic cross between 2 organisms studying 1 gene

F1 generation

First generation offspring of two parents

F2 generation

Second generation offspring of two parents

Progeny

Offspring produced from a genetic cross

Symbol for dominant allele

Capital letter

Symbol for recessive allele

Lowercase letter

Punnett Square

Grid to predict offspring genotypes and phenotypes

BB x bb F1 genotype

All Bb

BB x bb F1 phenotype

All show dominant trait (B masks b)

Bb x Bb genotypic ratio

1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb

Bb x Bb phenotypic ratio

3 dominant : 1 recessive

Dominant allele in heterozygous

Masks the recessive allele

Standard phenotypic ratio (heterozygous cross)

3:1 (dominant:recessive)
