Mendelian Genetics Overheads Mendelian Genetics WWW Links Genetic Topics Mendel's Law of Independent AssortmentTo this point we have followed the expression of only one gene. Mendel also 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. First, a few terms are presented. Dihybrid cross - a cross between two parents that differ by two pairs of alleles (AABB x aabb) Dihybrid- an individual heterozygous for two pairs of alleles (AaBb) Again a dihybrid cross is not a cross between two dihybrids. Now, let's look at a dihybrid cross that Mendel performed. Parental Cross: Yellow, Round Seed x Green, Wrinkled Seed F1 Generation: All yellow, round F2 Generation: 9 Yellow, Round, 3 Yellow, Wrinkled, 3 Green, Round, 1 Green, Wrinkled At this point, let's diagram the cross using specific gene symbols.
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.
 Now set up the Punnett Square for the F2 cross.
The phenotypes and general genotypes from this cross can be represented in the following manner:
The results of this experiment led Mendel to formulate his second law. Mendel's Second Law - the law of independent assortment; during gamete formation the segregation of the alleles of one allelic pair is independent of the segregation of the alleles of another allelic pair As with the monohybrid crosses, Mendel confirmed the results of his second law by performing a backcross - F1 dihybrid x recessive parent. Let's use the example of the yellow, round seeded F1.
Punnett Square for the Backcross
The phenotypic ratio of the test cross is:
Copyright © 2000. Phillip McClean How do you create a gamete in a dihybrid cross?There are four possible combinations of gametes for the AaBb parent. Half of the gametes get a dominant A and a dominant B allele; the other half of the gametes get a recessive a and a recessive b allele. Both parents produce 25% each of AB, Ab, aB, and ab. (Review problem #3's tutorial if necessary).
How do you find the gametes in a monohybrid cross?Monohybrid Cross Problem Set. Set up a 2 by 2 Punnett square.. Write the alleles for parent 1 on the left side of the Punnett square. Each gamete will have one of the two alleles of the parent. ... . Write the alleles from parent 2 above the Punnett square. ... . Fill the squares for parent 1.. How do you make a Monohybrid and dihybrid cross?A monohybrid cross is defined as the cross happening in the F1 generation offspring of parents differing in one trait only. A dihybrid cross is a cross happens F1 generation offspring of differing in two traits.
How do you find the probability of gametes in a dihybrid cross?Given four possible gamete types in each parent, there are 4 x 4 = 16 possible F2 combinations, and the probability of any particular dihybrid type is 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/16.
