Title: Allele combinations formed by these genotypes
Post by: Ange17 on Aug 22, 2019
Ok for this question, what is the possible allele combinations formed when the gametes produced from parents with the genotypes RrWW * RRww
RW,RW, rW, rW  and the other allele combination Rw,Rw,Rw,Rw

I see  4 allele combinations for each parent, do I reduce? go from 4:4, 2:2 to a 1:1 ratio for the possible alleles?? heres the possible answers listed below.
