Question

in a group of syrian hamsters, some individuals have straight fur and others have wavy fur. in this group, the gene for the fur texture trait has two alleles. the allele for straight fur (f) is dominant over the allele for wavy fur (f). this punnett square shows a cross between two syrian hamsters. punnett square with f, f on top and f, f on left, resulting in ff, ff, ff, ff what is the expected ratio of homozygous recessive to heterozygous offspring genotypes? write the most likely ratio. \boxed{}:\boxed{}

Explanation:

Step1: Identify offspring genotypes

From the Punnett square, all 4 offspring have genotype $Ff$ (heterozygous). There are 0 homozygous recessive ($ff$) offspring.

Step2: Calculate the ratio

Ratio of homozygous recessive to heterozygous is $\frac{0}{4}:\frac{4}{4}$.

Answer:

0:1
