Exercise
Form 8: Punnett Squares with Homozygous Parents (TT x tt)
In this exercise, students will explore the fundamentals of genetics by constructing Punnett squares to predict the offspring traits resulting from a cross between two homozygous parents—one homozygous dominant (TT) and one homozygous recessive (tt). By analyzing the genotypic and phenotypic ratios, learners will enhance their understanding of inheritance patterns and dominant/recessive traits.
