This video tutorial explains how to determine genotype and phenotype ratios using Punnett squares. It covers examples involving tall and short traits, red and white flowers, and codominant traits in chickens. The video demonstrates how to calculate ratios and convert them into percentages, emphasizing the importance of understanding dominant and recessive traits.
