Inheritance and Genetic Crosses

Predicting phenotypic ratios through monohybrid, dihybrid, sex-linked, and epistatic inheritance patterns.

Key Questions

  1. 1Why do observed phenotypic ratios often deviate from the expected Mendelian predictions?
  2. 2How does gene linkage limit the independent assortment of alleles during meiosis?
  3. 3How can we use the Chi-squared test to determine if genetic results are due to chance?
