GENETICS NOTES: DIHYBRID CROSS GENETICS NOTES: DIHYBRID CROSS Definition: 2 traits; different (hybrid or heterozygous) for each. Ex. Trait 1 = seed shape: R= Round , r = wrinkled Trait 2 = seed color: Y = Yellow, y = green Definition: 2 traits; different (hybrid or heterozygous) for each. Ex. Trait 1 = seed shape: R= Round , r = wrinkled Trait 2 = seed color: Y = Yellow, y = green What is the P generation _________ x _________ What is the P generation _________ x _________ F1 Generation: RrYy x RrYy a) Each parent gives one allele for each trait to offspring. So, each gamete should have one “R” and one “Y”. b) “FOIL” to determine possible gametes. First = Outer = Inner = Last = c) Since both parents have same genotypes (RrYy) the possible alleles for each will be the same. d) Determine # of squares in Punnett Square (42 = 16) e) Draw Punnett Square RY RY RRYY Ry RRYy rY ry RrYY RrYy Ry RRYy RRyy RrYy rY RrYY RrYy ry RrYy Rryy F1 Generation: RrYy x RrYy a) Each parent gives one allele for each trait to offspring.

Round + Yellow =9 Round + green =3 wrinkled+ Yellow = 3 wrinkled + green = 1 i) How many different types of genotypes are possible for this cross? List them. 9 different genotypes for this cross. f) Add gametes to outside of Punnett Square g) Conduct cross; following down and across fill in possible offspring. h) Determine the different phenotypes.
