For the pea pod shape trait, smooth is dominant to constricted. If a cross between two plants with
smooth pods produces some offspring with constricted pods, what were the parental genotypes?
B_ x B_ = bb Bb, Bb
Consider the cross AA X Aa. How many different phenotypes will be expressed in the offspring?
A A
A A
1; all will express the dominant trait

When a tall plant is crossed with a short plant, some of the offspring are short.

Step 1: Determine the parental genotypes
RrYy X RrYy
Step 2: Determine the possible gametes
each parent can produce
FOIL
Step 3: Place gametes outside of the Punnett square
The Dreaded Dihybrid
1. What percentage of seeds
are found to be yellow and
smooth? 9/16
2. What percentage of seeds
are found to be green and
smooth ? 3/16
3. What percentage of seeds
*****
are found to be yellow and
wrinkled? 3/16
4. What percentage of seeds
are found to be green and
wrinkled? 1/16 (¼ x ¼)
Step 1: Determine the parental genotypes
X RrYy
RrYy X rryy
Step 2: Determine the possible gametes
each parent can produce
X RrYy
RrYy X rryy
● Recall homozygotes are like a trick coins---
ry ●
in this case, there is no “heads”
There is no probability here…100% of the
time you will flip tails for both traits
● Only one type of gamete with respect to
these two traits will be produced
