    Dihybrid Cross Practice

    Uploaded by

    This document discusses different types of dihybrid crosses: 1. Complete dominance - Tall and purple traits are completely dominant 2. Incomplete dominance - Offspring of a cross between spherical/short and dented/tall plants would all have the genotype SsTt, displaying intermediate traits. 3. Epistasis - A cross between agouti mice results in 9 agouti, 3 black, and 4 albino offspring due to one gene masking the effects of another. 4. Codominance - A cross may result in both parental traits being expressed together in offspring.

    The text discusses Mendelian inheritance patterns including complete dominance, incomplete dominance, and epistasis.

    The text discusses dihybrid crosses exhibiting complete dominance, incomplete dominance, and epistasis.

    Epistasis is when one gene masks the expression of another gene. In the mouse coat color example, the albino phenotype masks any other coat color regardless of the genotype at the second locus, changing the expected phenotypic ratio.

    Dihybrid Cross - Incomplete dominance

    Tutorial to help answer the question

    In Mendel's experiments, the spherical seed character (SS) is completely dominant


    over the dented seed character (ss). If the characters for height were incompletely
    dominant, such that TT are tall, Tt are intermediate and tt are short, what would be the
    phenotypes resulting from crossing a spherical-seeded, short (SStt) plant to a
    dented-seeded, tall (ssTT) plant?

    Phenotype of offspring of an incompletely dominant trait

    All of the offspring would have


    the genotype of SsTt. Mendel
    selected traits that did not
    display partial dominance to
    study.

    Dihybrid Cross - Epistasis

    Tutorial to help answer the question

    Two unlinked loci effect mouse hair color. AA or Aa mice are agouti. Mice with
    genotype aa are albino because all pigment production is blocked, regardless of the
    phenotype at the second locus. At the second locus, the Ballele (agouti coat) is
    dominant to the b allele (black coat). What would be the result of a cross between two
    agouti mice of genotype AaBb?

    Tutorial

    A Punnet Square for the AaBb x AaBb cross is shown below. Rather than the 9:3:3:1
    seqregation of phenotypes normally seen with an AaBb x AaBb dihybrid cross, the
    phenotypic ratio is 9:3:4. There are only three different phenotypes for hair color, agouti,
    black and albino. The individual with genotype recessive for both traits, i.e. aabb, has the
    same albino phenotype as the aaBB and aaBb individuals due to epistasis. The albino
    phenotype masks any phenotype that might be caused by the recessive homozygous,
    recessive bb genotype.

    Dihybrid Cross- Codominance

    This is a dihybrid cross.


    Gene R controls fruit color; gene T controls height.
    Let R be the dominant allele for red fruit.
    Let r be the recessive allele for yellow fruit.
    Let T be the dominant allele for tall vine.
    Let t be the recessive allele for dwarf vine.

    Pureline (homozygous) tall plant bearing yellow fruit: TTrr
