To determine:
The ratio of offspring in the given cross.
Introduction:
During the process of sexual reproduction, the parents produces haploid gametes. These haploid gamete contain 1 set of chromosomes for each trait. During fertilization event two gametes fuse together and produce a diploid zygote, which eventually becomes the mature organism.
