The pattern of inheritance can be predicted from data if one is given the parent or offspring genotypes or phenotypes. Two organisms, with genotypes BbDD and BBDd, are mated. Assuming these genes are not linked, determine the genotypic ratios in offspring that would occur.

BBDd is 40%

BBDD is 20%

bBDD is 20%

bBDd is 20%

Explanation:

If we apply the punnet square technique to the given genotypes in the question, we can find the genotypic ratios of the offspring. For the genotypes BbDD and BBDd, the genotypes of the offspring can be as follows:

BBDD, bBDD, bBDd, BBDd and BBDd.

BBDd is 40%

BBDD is 20%

bBDD is 20%

bBDd is 20%

I hope this answer helps.

for a different answer set the answer would be because the oxygen in the water had depleted (apex)
