The Dihybrid Cross

-------

Gregor Mendel performed crosses in which he followed the segregation of two genes. These experiments formed the basis of his discovery of his second law, the law of independent assortment.

A Dihybrid cross is a cross between two parents that differ by two pairs of alleles (AABB x aabb)

The dominance relationship between alleles for each trait was already known to Mendel when he made this cross. The purpose of the dihybrid cross was to determine if any relationship existed between different allelic pairs.




Let's now look at the cross using our gene symbols.






In Mendel's experiments, a monohybrid cross produces 4 different possible combinations in the F2 Generation.This results to a phenotypic ratio of 3:1.

1.) What about a dihybrid cross, how many combinations are possible in the F2 Generation?

2.) What is the ratio of the resulting phenotypes in the F2 Generation?

  1. Crossing AaBb x AaBb, we would get:
    AABB, AAbB, aABB, aAbB, AABb, AAbb, aABb, aAbb, AaBB, AabB, aaBB, aabB, AaBb, Aabb, aaBb, and aabb.

    Thus:
    1.) There are 16 combinations possible.
    2.) 9(both traits dominant):3(first trait dominant):3(second trait dominant):1(both traits recessive)

    2.) The ratio of the resulting phenotypes in the F2 Generation is ratio of 9:3:3:1, where:

    the 9 represents the proportion of individuals displaying both dominant traits
    the first 3 represents the individuals displaying the first dominant trait and the second recessive trait
    the second 3 represents those displaying the first recessive trait and second dominant trait
    the 1 represents the homozygous, displaying both recessive traits.

    The last Emperor of Russia, Nicolas II, was married to Empress Alexandra, and they had five children, Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and Alexis. Alexis was the only one who was afflicted with hemophilia or the royal bleeding disease; all other members were normal.

    If only Prince Alexis was afflicted with the disease,

    a.) determine his genotype.
    -Xh Y

    b.) What could be the genotypes of the Emperor and Empress?
    -Emperor – XH Y
    -Emperess – XH Yh

    c.) Is it possible that each daughter could have been a carrier?
    -since Hemophilia is a sex linked recessive trait, boys will be the one to inherit the trait because they only have one X chromosome

  79. 1. There are four possible combinations of gametes for the AaBb parent.

    2. if we start with true-breeding parents (one homozygous dominant, one homozygous recessive), all of the F1 progeny will be heterozygous and show the dominant phenotype, and then these will give rise to a ratio of phenotypes in the F2 generation in a monohybrid cross

    ReplyDelete
  80. 1. There are four possible combinations of gametes for the AaBb parent.

    2. When two true breeding parents are crossed, the recessive trait is hidden in the offspring, only to reveal itself later in the grandchildren. The classic ratio for a monohybrid cross with straight dominance is Dominant to recessive in the F2.
