  1. Dihybrid Crosses

  2. Review of Monohybrid Crosses • Remember, monohybrid crosses involve only ONEtrait Example: In fruit flies, red eyes are dominant over white eyes. In this example you are only examining the EYE COLOR trait. RR rr

  3. Dihybrid Cross:The study of 2 pairs of contrasting traits at the same time Example: Fur color WITH Coat Texture Coat Texture: R: Rough r: Smooth Fur Color: B: Black b: White Mother is black fur AND rough coat Father is black fur AND rough coat BbRr x BbRr Notice that each parent has 2 traitsso that results in 4 alleles(1 trait= 2 alleles)

  4. Mendel’s Law The Law of Independent Assortment • During gamete formation, segregating pairs of unit factors (alleles) assort independently of each other when on different chromosomes. • the two traits are inherited totally independently of each other. • Ex. Fur color is inherited independently of coat texture. Example: We will cross a heterozygous individual with another heterozygous individual. Their genotypes will be BbRrx BbRr

  5. Dihybrid Cross BbRr x BbRr Step 1: Find ALL possible gametes that can be made from each parent. Remember, each gamete must have one B and one R.

  6. Determine the Gametes . . HINT: Foil to get the gametes • BbRr X BbRr B b R r = BR, Br, bR, br Mom’s 4 gametes will have only 1 allele for each trait due to meiosis (half) Dad’s 4 sperm will result in the same 4 since he is also heterozygous

  7. Dihybrid Cross BbRr x BbRr Possible gametes: BR Br bR br Step 2: Arrange all possible gametes for one parent on the top of your Punnett Square and the other parent on the side

  8. BR Br bR br BR Br bR br BbRr x BbRr Fur Color: B: Black b: White Coat Texture: R: Rough r: Smooth Step 3: Fill in the Punnett Square (find the possible genotypes of the offspring)
