The punnet square is used to predict phenotypes.
50% of the offsprings would have long stems, while the other 50% would have short stems.
See attachment for the SS vs ss cross
From the attachment, we have the following observations
[tex]n = 4[/tex] --- number of squares
[tex]Ss =2[/tex]
[tex]ss = 2[/tex]
Because S is dominant over s;we can write Ss as S.
So, we have:
[tex]n = 4[/tex]
[tex]S = 2[/tex]
[tex]s =2[/tex]
The percentage of each offspring calculated as follows is:
[tex]S\% = \frac{S}{n} \times 100\%[/tex]
[tex]S\% = \frac{2}{4} \times 100\%[/tex]
[tex]S\% = 0.5 \times 100\%[/tex]
[tex]S\% = 50\%[/tex]
[tex]s\% = \frac{s}{n} \times 100\%[/tex]
[tex]s\% = \frac{2}{4} \times 100\%[/tex]
[tex]s\% = 0.5 \times 100\%[/tex]
[tex]s\% = 50\%[/tex]
Hence, 50% of the offsprings would have long stems, while the other 50% would have short stems.
