Practise IB Biology HL 3.2.4 by interpreting phenotype ratios and connecting them to genotype combinations.
In a strain of soybeans, high oil content (H) in seeds is dominant to low oil content (h) and four seeds in a pod (F) is dominant to two seeds in a pod (f). A farmer crosses two soybean plants, both with high oil content and four seeds in a pod. The offspring have a phenotypic ratio of 9: 3: 3: 1.
Identify the phenotypes of each part of the phenotypic ratio.

9
high oil four seeds;
