    Study Notes

    Dihybrid Cross

    • A dihybrid cross is a cross between two parents that differ in two pairs of contrasting traits.

    F1 Generation Phenotypes

    • The phenotypes of the F1 generation resulting from crossing round-yellow seed (RRYY) with wrinkled-green seed (rryy) are all round and yellow.

    Mendel's Laws

    • Mendel's Law of Segregation is based on a monohybrid cross.
    • The Law of Segregation states that each pair of alleles separates from each other during gamete formation, resulting in each gamete receiving only one allele.
    • The Law of Independent Assortment states that alleles of different genes are sorted independently of one another during gamete formation.

    Cell Division

    • Meiosis is the process that involves the random separation of homologous chromosomes during cell division.
    • Genes segregate into daughter cells during the anaphase stage of cell division.

    Foundational Laws of Inheritance

    • Mendel discovered three foundational laws of inheritance: the Law of Segregation, the Law of Independent Assortment, and the Law of Dominance.

    Gamete Formation

    • If a dihybrid cross involves individuals with genotypes RrYy, the possible gametes produced by each parent are RY, Ry, rY, and ry.

    Genetic Concepts

    • 'Round-yellow, wrinkled-yellow, wrinkled-green, and round-green' are examples of the concept of multiple alleles.

    Matching Terms and Descriptions

    • Match the following terms with their descriptions:
      • Monohybrid cross: a cross between two parents that differ in one pair of contrasting traits.
      • Dihybrid cross: a cross between two parents that differ in two pairs of contrasting traits.
      • Genotype: the genetic makeup of an individual.
      • Phenotype: the physical expression of an individual's genotype.

    Matching Genotypes and Phenotypes

    • Match the following genotypes with their corresponding phenotypes:
      • RrYy: round and yellow
      • rrYy: wrinkled and yellow
      • RrYY: round and yellow
      • rrYY: wrinkled and yellow

    Matching Laws of Inheritance

    • Match the following statements with the correct law of inheritance:
      • Each pair of alleles separates from each other during gamete formation: Law of Segregation.
      • Alleles of different genes are sorted independently of one another during gamete formation: Law of Independent Assortment.
      • One allele can be dominant over another allele: Law of Dominance.

    Matching Stages of Cell Division

    • Match the following stages of cell division with their characteristics:
      • Meiosis: involves the random separation of homologous chromosomes during cell division.
      • Anaphase: genes segregate into daughter cells during this stage.
      • Gamete formation: involves the production of gametes with unique combinations of alleles.
