Mendel's 3:1 Ratio, Observed
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Mendel found that self-crossing F1 plants produced an F2 generation showing the dominant trait and the recessive trait in a ratio close to three to one.
Show
Self-crossed violet-flowered F1 plants produced roughly 705 violet-flowered and 224 white-flowered F2 offspring, near a 3:1 split.
Watch for
This ratio describes phenotypes in large samples — any small batch of offspring can depart from it by chance.
