A teacher prepared a dihybrid cross Punnett square and a key to dominant and recessive traits.

According to the information shown above, what is the appearance of offspring X?

0 Tall, round

Short, wrinkled

O Short, round

O Tall, wrinkled

Answer and Explanation:

There are four phenotypes: tall, short, round, wrinkled

Let us say that for the high trait, tall dominates over short. For the shape trait, round dominates over wrinkled. This is:

  • T allele determines tall plants
  • t allele determines short plants
  • R allele determines rounded seeds
  • r allele determines wrinkled seeds.

The fact that parental are dihybrid, tells us that their genotypes were TtRr

Cross:

Punnet Square)     TR           tR           Tr          tr
