Given three possible phenotypes for parents showing dominance (AA, Aa, aa), which combination would produce a 1:2:1 ratio of genotypes and a 3:1 ratio of phenotypes?

I. AA x Aa

II. Aa x aa

III. Heterozygous x Heterozygous

IV. Aa x Aa

V. Homozygous dominant x Heterozygous

1 answer

III. Heterozygous x Heterozygous

This combination would produce a 1:2:1 ratio of genotypes (AA:Aa:aa) and a 3:1 ratio of phenotypes (dominant:dominant:homozygous recessive).
