Dihybrid Cross Notes Looking at 2 traits
Steps to Solve a Dihybrid Cross In race horses, black hair (B) and a trotting gait (G) are dominant traits. Recessive traits are chestnut hair (b) and a pacing gait (g). Determine the possible offspring from a cross between two heterozygous black trotters. • Step 1: Determine the letter for each trait. • B = black hair • b = chestnut hair • G = trotting gait • g = pacing gait
Step 2: Determine the genotypes for both parents. Determine the possible offspring from a cross between two heterozygous black trotters. • BbGg X BbGg
Step 3: Set up the Punnett Square Remember FOIL from Algebra (First, Outside, Inside, Last). BbGg X BbGg BG BgbGbg BG Bg bG bg
Step 4: Fill in the Punnett Square Begin by filling in the B’s and then go back and fill in the G’s. BG BgbGbg BG Bg bG bg
