If b represents the allele for black eyes (dominant) and b represents the allele for orange eyes (recessive), what would be the genotypic ratio of a cross between a heterozygous black-eyed mendalien and an orange-eyed mendalien?
1 black: 1 orange
The heterozygous black-eyed MendAlien has the genotype Bb. The orange-eyed MendAlien has the genotype bb. The result of this cross is two Bb offspring and two bb offspring. This means that two of the offspring have black eyes and two of the offspring have orange eyes. This 2:2 ratio then reduces to 1:1
