Question
Describe why offspring will not necessarily follow the expected genotype ratio?
- Fertilization is random
- Fertilization is inaccurate
- Punnet squares are not reliable
- Different alleles appear during fertilization
Hint:
Fertilization in random
The correct answer is: Fertilization is random
predicted phenotype ratios among offspring are not always achieved. This can be due to the sample size being too small or the ratios based on fertilization which was a random process.
