Dihybrid Crosses
Predicting TWO traits at once!
-
Mendel’s Law ofIndependent Assortment
What is the Law of Independent Assortment?
Genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes.
What does that really mean?
The inheritance of one gene does not influence the inheritance of another gene.
Just because you got your dad’s “tall” gene doesn’t mean you will also necessarily get his “blue eye” gene –
the two aren’t connected!
-
Just because you got your dad’s “tall” gene doesn’t mean you will also necessarily get his “brown eye” gene –
the two aren’t connected!
We said…
But what if we want to know the chances that you DO get both genes?
Or what if we want to know the chances of not one particular gene, but TWO particular genes?
Would a regular Punnett Square work?
-
In order to predict TWO traits at once,
you will need to do a...
Four possible combinations of genes on the top and side (parental gametes)
Sixteen total possible gene combinations (offspring)
-
Now lets try our own example….
-
People like to eat green, round peas – not wrinkled and not yellow! So a farmer would
want to know, if he was breeding plants, what the chances are that he would get the
ideal crop (and make the most money!).
R = roundr = wrinkled
Y = yellowy = green
Both plants he is starting with are RrYy
So we need to make a GIANT Punnett Square to cross RrYy x RrYy…and then figure out the “chances” that the farmer will
get round, green offspring!
-
Parent 1: Parent 2:
When you are predicting only one trait, each parent has two possible genes to give. When you are predicting two
traits, each parent has FOUR possible genes to give!
So Parent 1 could give the following four combinations of genes to their offspring…
And Parent 2 could give the following four combinations of genes to their offspring…

How many of the farmer’s plants will produce the desired Round, green peas?
How many will produce the yellow peas, which no one will want to buy?
So would it be wise for the farmer tocross these two RrYy plants?

Ready for another example?!?
-
This husband and wife want the ultimate circus freak kid
– one with elephant skin and a hairy face!
If they have a baby, what are the chances that they’ll have the ideal circus freak? And what are the chances that they will just have a
normal kid?!?!

Dog-faced Man Normal Face = FHairy Face = f
Normal Skin = QElephant Skin = q
Dad must be ff for face.Genetic tests show he is Qq for skin.
Mom must be qq for skin.Her dad was also “dog-faced”, so we
know that she must be Ff for face.

So Mom is FfqqAnd Dad is ffQq
Which means that Mom and Dad each can give FOUR possible combination of the two genes….
Mom could give .
Dad could give .
Fq or Fq or fq or fq
fQ or fQ or fq or fq
If they each can give FOUR possible combination of genes, how many boxes is our PunnettSquare going to have?

How many of the circus freaks children will be “ideal” circus freaks themselves, with elephant skin and a hairy face?
How many of their kids will be perfectly normal?
How many will have just one circus freak trait?
How many will carry a recessive gene that they may pass on to their children?
