how do i determain the percentage ?

Question

when i finish doing a punit square how do i determain the percentage ? example What percent of the offspring are homozygous dwarf plants?

Answer 1

you wold take how many are homozygous dwarf plants by the total number of offspring. probably 1 divided by 4

Answer 2

If you make a punits square you can figure out the percents form that square. Basically, if you have 2 different genes, 50% of the offspring are going to be heterozygous for the two traits, 25% are going to be homozygous dominant and the remaining 25% homozygous recessive. It's hard to tell you the right answer with such a small amount of information. From what I can gather, the answer you're looking for is 25%....you can email me more information if you need more help..:)

Answer 3

Well, I can't give you the answer to your specific question about the homozygous dwarf plants because I don't know the genes, but I can tell you to find the percentage. Count up all the boxes. Next, count up the ones that are homozygous dominant. Take this second number and divide it by the number of boxes. Multiply this third number by 100 and BINGO. Do the same thing with homozygous recessive and heterozygous as well.
