1. Imagine a mother and a father who both have freckles and are heterozygous for the trait, or Ff. They are the P generation, or
parent generation. Create a Punnett square to show their offspring, the F1 generation. Answer:

Part 2: Dihybrid Cross—Predicting Flower Color and Seed Shape
Imagine that you are crossing two plants that are heterozygous for flower color and seed shape. The dominant and recessive alleles for these traits are as follows:
purple flowers: P
white flowers: p
round seeds: R
wrinkled seeds: r

2. How will the alleles for these traits assort into the gametes that each parent might produce? (Hint: For a reminder on how alleles sort independently into gametes, refer to the illustration in Part 2, Question 2, in the Student Guide.)

3. Create a Punnett square to calculate the possible genotypes that can result from a cross between the two parent plants. In a dihybrid cross, the alleles of the gametes of each parent are written along the left side and top of the Punnett square, just as they are for a monohybrid cross. Fill in the squares with the predicted genotypes. Some information has been filled in for you to help you complete a Punnett square for a dihybrid cross.
