(c) Complete the following table to show the differentphenotypes you would expect in the
F2 and their ratio.
Phenotype
Ratio
(d) State the ratio of phenotypes expected in the F2 offspring.
(e) Mendel's Second Law of inheritance states that, "during gamete formation the
segregation of each gene pair is independent of other pairs." How do the diagrams
above prove this law? (AC 2.4).
