OpenStudy (hugsnotughs):

Genotypic ratio is the pattern of offspring distribution according to genotype (i.e. the genetic constitution determining the phenotype of an organism.

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

it is the genetic constitution of the offspring obtained in the crosses

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

in every generation we can get genotypic ratio

OpenStudy (shreehari499):

and you determine it by drawing a Punnet's Square..:)

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

yes as @shreehari499 told we can obtain it by punnetts squares...

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Suppose we perform a cross between Tt and Tt. Then 4 zygotes will be formes, genotypes of which will be 1x TT, 2 x Tt, 1 x tt. Thus its genotypic ratio will be 1:2:1

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

yes as @Abhisar told the heteotypes and the homotypes are considered, where TT - homozygous tall Tt - heterozygous tall (T dominant) tt- homozygous short. hence the ratio will be 1:2:1 for a monohybrid cross

OpenStudy (abhisar):

*Formes = formed
