Dihybrid cross

The study of cross involving the inheritance pattern of two characters each of which is

determined by two alleles of a gene for instance, pea plant with  seed colour and seed shape are used in garden pea plant , round seed (RR) is dominant  over wrinkled seed (rr)  , yellow seed (Y)  is dominant over the green seed (y).

When a pure stock of plants having round yellow seeds is crossed with a pure stock  of wrinkled and  seeds, the F1 general offspring all round and yellow.

When a pure stock of plants having round yellow seeds is crossed with a pure stock  of wrinkled and  seeds     , the F1 general offspring all round and yellow.

Parents  ____  Round and yellow  X wrinkled and green

RYRY         x       ryry

Gametes     RY                                      ry

F1                                               RYry   (All round and yellow)

F2 is arranged in prunnet table as follow

RY, ry ,   X  RYry

Gametes :  RY, RY, ry , ry  X   RY  , RY, RY, ry
