8-13. Here is the actual data from the 2nd generation of Mendel's experiments. Calculate the ratio of dominant offspring to recessive offspring for each characteristic, (do this: Dominant trait / recessive trait) Characteristic Dominant Trait Recessive Trait Ratio (show your work) Flower color 705 purple 224 white 705 / 224 = 3.15... so 3.15:1 Seed color 6,002 yellow 2,001 green 6,002/2,001=3.00:1 Seed shape 5,474 round 1,850 wrinkled 5,474/1,850=2.96:1 Pod color 428 green 152 yellow 428/152=2.82:1 Pod shape 882 smooth 299 bumpy 882/299=2.95:1 Flower position 651 along stem 207 at tip 651/207=3.14:1 Plant height 787 tall 277 short 787/277=2.84:1 14 Round off all numbers in the ratios to whole numbers. What ratio do you 15 How many tall offspring / babies were there for every one short baby? 16. Why do you think the offspring came out the way they did?​
