A DIHYBRID CROSS CAN BE TREATED AS TWO
SEPARATE MONOHYBRID CROSSES
THE EXPECTED PROBABILITY OF EACH TYPE OF
SEED CAN BE CALCULATED:
• PROBABILITY OF AN F2 SEED BEING ROUND = 75% OR ¾
• PROBABILITY OF AN F2 SEED BEING WRINKLED =
• PROBABILITY OF AN F2 SEED BEING YELLOW =
• PROBABILITY OF AN F2 SEED BEING GREEN =

A dihybrid cross can be treated as two
separate monohybrid crosses
The expected probability of each type
of seed can be calculated:
Probability of an F2 seed being round = 75% or ¾
Probability of an F2 seed being wrinkled = 25% or ¼
Probability of an F2 seed being yellow = 75% or ¾
Probability of an F2 seed being green = 25% or ¼

Therefore
Probability of an F2 seed being round and yellow
= ¾ x ¾ = 9/16 =
56.25%
Probability of an F2 seed being round and green
=
Probability of an F2 seed being wrinkled and yellow
=
Probability of an F2 seed being wrinkled and green

THEREFORE
• Probability of an F2 seed being round and yellow
= ¾ x ¾ = 9/16 =
56.25%
• Probability of an f2 seed being round and green
= ¾ x ¼ = 3/16 =
18.75%
• Probability of an f2 seed being wrinkled and yellow
= ¼ x ¾ = 3/16 =
18.75%
• Probability of an f2 seed being wrinkled and green
= ¼ x ¼ = 1/16 =
6.25%

The law of independent assortment
• It appears that the inheritance of seed shape has no
influence over the inheritance of seed colour
• The two characters are inherited INDEPENDENTLY
• The pairs of alleles that control these two characters assort
themselves independently

MENDEL & MEIOSIS
• The pairs of chromosomes could orientate in different ways
at anaphase 1

Dihybrid test cross
• In monohybrid crosses, to know if a dominant trait
is homozygous (RR) or heterozygous (rr) it is
necessary to carry out a test cross
• This is done with a homozygous recessive (rr)
individual
• The same is true for a dihybrid cross where the test
cross is made with an individual which is
homozygous recessive for both characters (rryy)

CLASS ACTIVITY:
• Set up a punnett square using the following information:
• ·· Dominate allele for black fur in guinea pigs = B
• ·· Recessive allele for white fur in guinea pigs =b
• ·· Dominate allele for rough fur in guinea pigs = R
• ·· Recessive allele for smooth fur in guinea pigs = r
• ·· Cross a heterozygous parent (bbrr) with a heterozygous parent (bbrr)
Alshehri, Dikhnah Saeed
• Using the punnett square produced in the previous question:
• A. What is the probability of producing guinea pigs with black, rough
fur? What is/are the possible genotype(s)?
• B. What is the probability of producing guinea pigs with black, smooth
fur?
• What is/are the possible genotype(s)?
• C. What is the probability of producing guinea pigs with white, rough
fur? What is/are the possible genotype(s)?
• D. What is the probability of producing guinea pigs with white, smooth
fur? What is/are the possible genotype(s)?

EXERCISE 1
• A brown-eyed, long-winged fly mated with a redeyed, long-winged fly. The progeny were:
• 51 long, red
• 53 long, brown
18 short, red
16 short, brown
• What are the genotypes of the parents?
Alshehri, Dikhnah Saeed
EXERCISE 2
• Two rough black guinea-pigs bred together have
two offsprings; one of them roughly white and the
other smooth black. If these same parents were
further bred together, what offspring would you
expect for them?
Alshehri, Dikhnah Saeed
EXERCISE 3
• 1. In guinea-pigs, black fur (B) is dominant over
albino (b) and course hair (R) is dominant over
smooth hair ( r ).
• A. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of a
cross between homozygous black animal, course
hair and an albino animal, smooth hair.
• B. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the
F2 generation if two of the offspring from the F1
generation crossed.
