Answer 1

To complete the Punnett Square for the genotypes you've provided (AA, Aa, Aa, aa), let's set it up:

         A      A
      -----------------
   A |   AA    AA   |
      -----------------
   a |   Aa     Aa   |
      -----------------
   a |   aa     aa   |

The completed Punnett Square shows the following genotypes:

• 2 AA
• 2 Aa
• 1 aa

Now let's list the genotypes again to interpret their phenotypes assuming that "A" (dominant) expresses a dominant trait and "a" (recessive) expresses a recessive trait:

• AA → dominant phenotype
• Aa → dominant phenotype
• aa → recessive phenotype

From the completed Punnett Square:

• Dominant phenotypes (AA + Aa): 4
• Recessive phenotypes (aa): 1

Therefore, the phenotypic ratio is:

• Dominant:Recessive = 4:1

So, the answer to the second question is:

4:1
