Su and Ki results for the genotype and phenotype ratios for the hi and ahh cross were very different from the class ratios for the hh and Hh cross. What might account for this?

Answer 1

Hi KeKe.

There could be more than one explanation for Su and Ki getting different results than everyone else in class. Assuming that everyone was supposed to have the same parent types and expect the same child types:

1. Su and Ki made a mistake
2. Su and Ki's sample was not pure
3. Su and Ki had a rare case of mutation happen during their experiment

What do you think is most likely?
