Question
I did the punnet square for Rr and Bb but I’m confused on dihybrid crosses.
LAB 11 I Genetics
Part 3. Now that you can easily do a Punnett square for a monohybrid cross, let's go on to dihybrid
crosses. A dihybrid cross looks at two characteristics instead of one. For instance, we can look at the
cross between a parent who has red skin and sweet taste with a parent who has white skin and bitter
taste. The trick is to make sure you list every possible combination of alleles each parent can donate.
There are several ways to determine these combinations, One way is to "foil it out" (as you would
in algebra). Given the following information, try to work it out:
Onion skin color is denoted by the letter "R" with red (R) allele being dominant and white (r) allele
being recessive.
Taste we already denoted by the letter "B"; again, sweet (B) is dominant and bitter (b) is recessive.
If one parent is heterozygous for skin color (red) and heterozygous dominant for taste (sweet), the
onion genotype would be RrBb.
To figure out the four possible combinations of alleles the parent onion could donate, you could do this:
first
last
RrBb
outside
inside
