    Dihybrid Crosses: The Law of Independent Assortment

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses the law of independent assortment and performing a dihybrid cross in snapdragons. It explains that the inheritance of one trait does not affect the inheritance of another trait. It then gives the steps to perform a dihybrid cross between a dwarf pink snapdragon and a plant homozygous for tallness and red flowers. The steps are to determine the genotypes of the parents, their gametes, perform a Punnett square, and identify the phenotype ratios in the offspring. The offspring will all be tall but split into pink and red flowers in a 1:1 ratio.

    Crosses
    The Law of Independent
    Assortment

    Independent Assortment
    The inheritance pattern of one trait will
    not affect the inheritance pattern of
    another
    Independent assortment occurs during
    meiosis
    For a single human gamete, the possible
    ways chromosomes may assort is
    astounding:
    223 = 8,388,608 possible combinations

    Dihybrid Cross
    In snapdragons, tallness (T) is dominant to dwarfness(t),
    while red color is due to gene (R) and white to its
    corresponding allele (r). The heterozygous condition
    results in pink (Rr) flower color. A dwarf pink snapdragon
    is crossed with a plant homozygous for tallness and red
    flowers. Give the possible genotypes and corresponding
    phenotypes for all of the possible F1 generation.

    Step #1: Determine Genotypes


    of Parents
    A dwarf pink snapdragon is crossed with
    a plant homozygous for tallness and red
    flowers.

    Dwarf pink = ttRr


    Homozygous tall, red = TTRR

    Step #2: Determine Genotypes


    of Gametes
    A dwarf pink snapdragon is crossed with
    a plant homozygous for tallness and red
    flowers.

    Dwarf pink = ttRr

    Step #3: Punnett Square
