1. Get out your monohybrid crosses HW2. A woman with a widow’s peak
(heterozygous) has children with a man who does not have a widow’s peak. What is the probability they will have a child without a widow’s peak?
Dihybrid Crosses
• Crosses that involve two traits• Similar to monohybrid crosses, but HARDER!
A pea plant that is heterozygous for round, yellow seeds is self fertilized . What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the plant’s offspring?
A pea plant that is heterozygous for round, yellow seeds is self fertilized. What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the plant’s offspring?
• Step 1: Write the symbolsR = Roundr = smoothY = Yellowy = green
A pea plant that is heterozygous for round, yellow seeds is self fertilized. What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the plant’s offspring?
• Step 2: Determine the parental genotypes and write the parental Cross.
A pea plant that is heterozygous for round, yellow seeds is self fertilized. What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the plant’s offspring?
• Step 3: Determine the gametes. (kind of like the FOIL method from math class)– Combine the R’s and Y’s for each parent to
determine the alleles for each egg or sperm.
A pea plant that is heterozygous for round, yellow seeds is self fertilized. What are the genotypic and
phenotypic ratios of the plant’s offspring?• Step 4: Set up a large 4x4 Punnet square,
place one gamete set from parent 1 on the top and one gamete set from parent 2 on the side.
