Question

Phenotypic and genotypic ratios according to Mendel's pattern of inheritance is

• A. Different
• B. Same
• C. Average
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Different

The genotype ratio is the set of genes in our DNA which is responsible for a particular trait. The phenotype ratio is the physical expression, or characteristics, of that trait. For example, two organisms that have even the minutest difference in their genes are said to have different genotypes. Tt and TT are two different genotypes. So, the ratio is 1:1 but the phenotypes for them are same i.e., tall. Hence, the genotypic and phenotypic ratios can be different.

So, the correct answer is option A.
