Mendelian ratios

Mendelian ratios are statistical patterns observed when genes are inherited from parents. They show how specific traits, controlled by genes, are passed on, often in predictable ratios. For example, when crossing two plants with different traits, Mendel’s laws predict that certain traits will appear in specific proportions among the offspring—like 3 out of 4 plants showing one trait and 1 out of 4 another. These ratios help scientists understand how genes are inherited and predict the likelihood of traits appearing in future generations.
