Determination of Zygote Ratios

See - Haldane, J.B.S. 1930. Theoretical genetics of autotetraploids. J. Genetics 22:359-372.

Once we have obtained the expected gamete ratios, then the chromosome and chromatid segregation progeny ratios are easy with the Punnett Square.

Example

Selfing a simplex autotetraploid with random chromosome or chromatid segregation.

Random Chromosome:
