AI Thread Summary
To calculate genotype and phenotype ratios in a trihybrid cross like TTBbRr with TtbbRr, one must first determine all possible offspring combinations. The total number of outcomes can be derived from the combinations of alleles from each parent. For example, using a Punnett square can simplify the visualization of these combinations, but for larger crosses, calculating probabilities may be more efficient. The genotype ratio is found by dividing the number of specific genotypes by the total outcomes, while the phenotype ratio follows the same principle. Understanding these methods is crucial for accurately predicting genetic outcomes in trihybrid crosses.

I did the crossing, but i don't know how to do the genotypes nor the phenotype ratio

\frac{Number \left \left of \left \left outcomes \left \left with \left \left a \left \left particular \left \left phenotype/genotype}{Total \left \left number \left \left of \left \left outcomes}
For example, if you performed Aa x Aa, then there are four possible outcomes, AA, Aa, aA and aa. These are all equally likely, and two are the same. So, for AA, it appears once as an outcome of four possible outcomes, thus you get 1/4. For, Aa (aA is the same), is appears twice out of four possible outcomes, thus 2/4, or 1/2. For aa, it appears once out of four possible outcomes, thus 1/4.
I think that's what you were looking for. For crosses where a large number of genes is being considered, punnett squares and writing out the possibilities can be tiresome; and just using probabilities is easier (although possibly more prone to error).
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
