If a homozygous brown squirrel mated with
a heterozygous orange squirrel, what would be the genotype and phenotype ratio of each color?

Verified Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

The genotype and phenotype ratios when a homozygous brown squirrel mates with a heterozygous orange squirrel result in a 1:1 ratio of brown to orange offspring.


Explanation:

Genotype and Phenotype Ratios:

When a homozygous brown squirrel (bb) mates with a heterozygous orange squirrel (Bb), the possible offspring genotypes are Bb and bb. The phenotypic ratio would be 1:1, meaning half of the offspring would be brown (bb) and the other half orange (Bb).
