Dihybrid Cross Problems Directions: For Each of The Problems Below, Complete The Following On A Separate Sheet of Paper

This document provides instructions and examples for completing dihybrid crosses between pea plants. It defines symbols used to represent pea plant traits and provides 4 example crosses. For each cross it lists the genotypes of the parents, uses a Punnett square to predict offspring genotypes and phenotypes, and gives the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the offspring.

Dihybrid Cross Problems

Directions: For each of the problems below, complete the following on a separate sheet of paper:

A.) List the genotype of each parent described

B.) Use a Punnett square to predict the possible outcomes of a cross between the 2 parents.

C.) List the genotypes and the number of that genotype present in the offspring for each
cross (can write as a ratio).

D.) List the phenotypes and the number of that phenotype present in the offspring for each
cross (can write as a ratio).

Symbols (for pea plant traits):

T: tall Y: yellow seeds R: Round seeds P: Purple flower


t: short y: green seeds r: wrinkled seeds p: white flower

Problems:

1.) Cross a heterozygous tall and round seed pea plant with another heterozygous tall, round
seed plant.

2.) Cross a pea plant that is heterozygous for purple flowers and homozygous dominant for
yellow seeds with a plant that is heterozygous for purple flowers and homozygous recessive
for green seeds.

3.) Cross a plant that is heterozygous for round seeds and homozygous recessive for white flowers
with a plant that is homozygous recessive for wrinkled seeds and heterozygous for purple flowers.
