Match each outcome in a stated phenotypic ratio to its named observable trait in IB Biology HL D3.2.4.
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.
| ratio | phenotypes |
|---|---|
| 9 | high oil four seeds; |
| 3 | high oil two seeds; |
| 3 | low oil four seeds; |
| 1 | low oil two seeds; |
