11. Let's say, instead of being on different chromosomes, the T and F gene were right on topof each other on the same chromosome, that is the two genes where perfectly linked.This is a phenomenon called linkage. What would the expected phenotypic ratio of theF2 progeny be if the T gene and the F gene were perfectly linked? Activity E: Predicting the outcome of a dihybrid crossThe resulting phenotypic ratios in the F₂ generation of a dihybrid cross (2 traits) can be quitedifferent than those observed from a monohybrid cross, but the process is essentially the same.First, you list all possible gametes each parent and subsequent parents can produce. Second,you then assign the gametes to a Punnett square and fill it in. Finally, you count the progeny anddetermine the number of progeny in each phenotypic category.Remember, when determining the types of gametes possible, each gamete must have onemember of each homologous pair of chromosomes. This means there needs to be one copy ofevery gene. For example, if you are considering a T gene (ability to taste PTC) and an F gene(let's say earwax texture- wet earwax is dominant and dry earwax is recessive), each gametemust have one allele for the T gene (either T or t) and one allele for the F gene (either For f).
