Dihybrid Crosses • Involve 2 traits • Eg. Crossing tall yellow pea plants with short green pea plants • Procedure is same as with monohybrids • Must first find gametes • Then cross in punnett square • Then show gametes coming together, making offspring!

RrBb X RrBb 4 possible gametes from each parent Punnett square is 4 X 4 Classic 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio in offspring • If parents are RRBb and RrBB….. • Only 2 possible gametes from each parent (RB or Rb) and (RB or rB) • Punnett square becomes 2 X 2 instead of 4 X 4! RB Rb RB RRBB RRBb rB RrBB RrBb In poultry, a crested head is produced by a dom. allele and a plain head by it’s rec allele. Black feather is dom to red. A homozygous red feathered, hetero. crest headed bird is mated to a hetero. black, plain headed bird! Find the pheno’s and geno’s of the F 1’s. C = crested c = plain B = black b = red bC bc Bc BbCc Bbcc bc bbCc bbcc Phenotypic Ratio 1:1:1:1 Parental Genotypes bbCc & Bbcc Genotypic Ratio 1:1:1:1 Gametes would be abc & ABC All offspring: AaBbCc Gametes would be ABC, AbC, aBC, abC ABc, Abc, aBc, abc Trihybrid Cross YIKES!! Working out Gametes!! n 2 where n = number of different sets of alleles n= 1 for mono n= 2 for dihybrid n= 3 for trihybrid Lethal Alleles Dominant allele is Lethal! Mexican hairless dog!! Hh Gene Interaction 1.Polygenic Inheritance – Where a trait is controlled by more than one gene • Skin color • Eye color • Height • Example: Coat • B = black coat • b = brown coat color in dogs ALSO W = prevents pigment w = does not prevent color W is a separate gene located on a separate chromosome W allele masks the effect of the B gene 2. Epistatic Interaction Genes that mask the expression of other genes Dog example continued black phenotype • wwBb genotype = ______ white phenotype • WwBb genotype = ______ brown phenotype • wwbb genotype = _______ 3. Complementary Interaction • Occurs when two genotypes combine to create a phenotype that neither can produce alone Genotype A + Genotype B Chicken Example R = rose comb P = pea comb R + P = walnut r + p = single comb = Phenotype C Walnut Rose Pea Single Question on Complimentary Interaction • Find the F1’s and the F2’s for the following parents: • RRpp x rrPP • Gametes would be Rp x rP • All offspring would be RrPp • Phenotype: all walnut • Must use punnett square for second cross!!

Notice sickle shape of cells…can’t carry enough oxygen & get stuck in caps Blood smear showing sickle cell anemia Normal & Abnormal Red Blood Cells Pleiotropic Genes • Eg. Marfan’s Syndrome – inability to produce connective tissue – eye, skeleton and cardiovascular defects show up Marfan’s Syndrome Abraham Lincoln Symptoms of Marfan’s?? Marfan’s Syndrome Long thin limbs & Abnormal joints Environment and Phenotype • Primrose flowers • Red if raised at room temp • White when raised above 30 0 C Effect of Environment on Phenotype Submerged leaves are finely divided, Compared with the ones Growing in air Sun lightens hair & Darkens freckles Genetics Problems 1:Dihybrid crosses Practice Genetics Problems More Practice!
