Dihybrid Crosses

6. In pea plants, the round seed allele is dominant over the wrinkled seed allele, and the yellow seed
allele is dominant over the green seed allele. (R = round, r = wrinkled, Y= yellow, y = green) The
genes for seed texture and those for seed color are on different chromosomes. A plant
heterozygous for seed texture and seed color is crossed with a plant that is wrinkled and
heterozygous for seed color. What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring produced by this cross?
7. In cats B= brown hair color, b=white hair color, S= short hair and s=long hair. Make a Punnett
square for the following crosses and determine the phenotypic ratios of the offspring produced.
a. BbSs x bbSs
b. BbSs x BbSs
8. A couple has three children, all of whom have brown eyes and blond hair. Both parents are
homozygous for brown eyes (BB), but one is blond (rr) and the other is a redhead (Rr). What is the
probability that the next child will be a brown-eyed redhead?
9. In watermelons, the alleles for green color (G) and short shape (S) are dominant over the alleles for
striped color (g) and long shape (s). A plant with long, striped fruits is crossed with a plant that is
heterozygous for both characteristics. What genotypes and phenotypes will be found among the
offspring, and in what proportions?
10. In hounds, drooping ears is dominant to erect ears. Also barking while
trailing rabbits is dominant to silent trailers. What kind of pups
(phenotypic ratio) can be expected from a cross between a
heterozygous droop-eared barker mated to an erect eared silent
trailer?
