Complete the Punnett Square below to show a cross between two FfEe mice
To complete the Punnett Square, we need to know the genotype of each parent. Since one parent is FfEe, we can assume that the other parent has the same genotype.
Punnett Square:
| Ff | Fe |
---------|----------|----------|
Ff | FF | Ff |
----------------------|----------|
Fe | Ff | feee |
In this Punnett Square, the F allele represents the dominant allele for a certain trait, and the f allele represents the recessive allele. Similarly, the E allele represents the dominant allele for another trait, and the e allele represents the recessive allele.
The Punnett Square shows the four possible combinations of alleles that could result from the cross between two FfEe mice. The top row represents the possible alleles from the female parent (Ff) and the side column represents the possible alleles from the male parent (FfEe). Each box in the Punnett Square represents one possible outcome of the cross.
The results are as follows:
- 25% chance of FF mice (homozygous dominant for both traits)
- 50% chance of FfEe mice (heterozygous for both traits)
- 25% chance of feee mice (homozygous recessive for both traits)
