What is the genotype of your offspring? You then cross the offspring to each other. What ratio do you expect? Why? You count 1000 plants and look at their flowers.

- Genetic cross with dependent assortment (linked traits). Repeat the previous problem but assume that the genes are located very close to each other on the same chromosome, and are therefore always linked (passed on together). Assume that in these individuals, each chromosome contains the dominant allele for one gene and the recessive allele for the other gene. Note: this is similar to the dependent assortment example in your notes, but the linkage is different. Construct a 2x2 Punnett square, and answer the questions below: GgBb x GgBb GB Gb gB gb GB GGBB GGBb GgBB GgBb Gb GGBb GGbb GgBb Ggbb gB GgBB GgBb ggBB ggBb gb GgBb Ggbb ggBb ggbb a) From your Punnett square, how many individuals are dihybrids? b) How many individuals are both homozygous recessive for coat color and heterozygous for eye color (ggBb)? c) Fill in the blanks to state the expected phenotypic ratio of the offspring:…arrow_forwardIntroduction: A dihybrid cross is a cross between individuals that involves two pairs of contrasting traits. To Predict the results of a dihybrid, cross all possible combinations of the four alleles from each parent must be considered. You will examine a dihybrid cross involving both color and texture. Purple (P), is dominate to yellow (p), and smooth texture (S) is dominant to wrinkled (s). Both parent plants are heterozygous for both traits. Review genetics and the use of Punnett squares in a biology text before doing this experiment.MATERIALS: Assume you have ear of Corn. You need a heterozygous X heterozygous 9:3:3:1, purple/yellow, starchy/sweet.
