Genetic Ratios
Genetic ratios describe the statistical distribution of traits across offspring when breeding cannabis plants with known genotypes. Breeders use Mendelian principles—such as 3:1 or 9:3:3:1 ratios—to predict phenotypic expression in F1, F2, and subsequent generations. Understanding these ratios helps identify whether traits are dominant, recessive, or polygenic in inheritance. Common applications include tracking morphology (plant height, leaf shape), flowering time, and terpene production across breeding lines. Accurate record-keeping of parental genotypes and offspring phenotypes is essential for reliable ratio prediction. This knowledge underpins modern seed development and line stabilization efforts.

Breeders apply genetic ratio analysis during controlled crosses to stabilize desired traits and eliminate undesired recessive expressions. Consistent ratio observation across generations confirms trait heritability and guides selection priorities for future breeding cycles.
