Dihybrid Crossing Lesson Genetics

In a dihybrid cross

• one trait is crossed.
• two traits are crossed.
• four boxes are needed for the punnett square.
• mom's alleles are dominant.

Using the dihybrid cross and key provided, what is the probability of the offspring being tall and white?

• 9
• 2
• 3
• 6

Which of the following is the best example for a heterozygous genotype?

• AA
• Ab
• Bb

In flowers, purple color is dominant to pink and short is dominant to tall. Cross a flower that is heterozygous for both traits with another flower that is pink and tall. What is the percentage of the flowers being pink and short?

• 75%
• 25%
• 4
• 1/2
