    What type of cross is it when a dihybrid heterozygous is crossed with a double recessive?

    This type of cross involves a heterozygous individual for two traits (dihybrid) being crossed with a homozygous recessive individual for both traits.

    What is the phenotypic ratio of offspring when a dihybrid heterozygous is crossed with a double recessive?

    The phenotypic ratio of offspring in a dihybrid cross with a double recessive parent is 1:1:1:1.

    What principle of Mendel is illustrated through the results of this cross?

    The Law of Independent Assortment states that alleles for different traits segregate independently of one another during gamete formation and are inherited independently.

    Differentiate between dominance, co-dominance, and incomplete dominance.

    Dominance occurs when one allele masks the expression of another allele. In incomplete dominance, the heterozygote shows a phenotype that is intermediate between the two homozygous phenotypes. In co-dominance, both alleles are expressed equally in the phenotype.

    What is the expected phenotypic ratio of offspring when dogs heterozygous for both barking and erect ears are crossed?

    When heterozygous dogs for both barking (Bb) and erect ears (Ee) are crossed, the expected phenotypic ratio is 9:3:3:1

    Study Notes

    Question 1

    • A dihybrid cross involves crossing two traits with different alleles in heterozygous individuals
    • The cross is between a heterozygous round yellow pea plant and a double recessive plant
    • The cross is used to determine the genotype and phenotype of the progeny
    • The principle of Mendel illustrated is the law of independent assortment
    • The genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring can be predicted using a Punnett square.

    Question 2

    • The problem describes the inheritance of traits in dogs
    • The traits are barking (dominant) and silent (recessive), erect and drooping ears (dominant and recessive)
    • The question asks about the phenotypic ratios from a cross of heterozygous dogs
    • Using a Punnett square, each trait is analyzed independently
    • The expected phenotypic ratio resulting from the cross is 9:3:3:1

    Question 3

    • Dominance occurs when the dominant allele masks the recessive allele in the heterozygote
    • Co-dominance occurs when there is a blending of traits from the dominant and recessive alleles.
    • Incomplete dominance occurs when the dominant allele does not completely mask the recessive allele, resulting in an intermediate.
    • Example traits can be given but may require context to understand fully

    Question 4

    • A dihybrid cross involves crossing heterozygous traits in a plant
    • This is a cross between a heterozygous tall yellow pea plant and a double recessive plant.
    • The cross is used in genetics to determine the genotype and phenotype of the offspring
    • The principle of Mendel illustrated is the law of independent assortment
    • By use of a Punnett square, the expected genotypes and phenotypes of the progeny can be determined.
