LECTURE 3
OBJECTIVESAt the end of the lesson, students should
be able to :• Explain the Mendel’s experiment on
dihybrid cross.• Explain dihybrid cross.• State Mendel’s second law/law of
independent assortment• Calculate genotypic and phenotypic
ratios (9:3:3:1) up to F2 generation using Punnett-square method.
Eg : Drosophila and Pisum.
Dihybrid cross
• In one experiment, Mendel crossed plants from two pure-breeding strains, one tall with purple flowers, the other dwarf with white flowers.
• All the offspring in the F1 generation were tall with purple flowers, these being the dominant characteristics.
• The F1 generation were self-crossed, producing the following phenotypes and ratios in the F2 generation:
• 9 tall purple-flowered• 3 tall white-flowered• 3 dwarf purple-flowered• 1 dwarf white-flowered
• He observed that two phenotypes resembled one or the other of the parents, and the two phenotypes had combined the characteristics of both parents.
• The ratio of tall plants to dwarf plants and the ratio of purple-flowered plants to white -flowered plants were 3:1.
• This was the same ratio that occurred in the monohybrid crosses.
• He concluded from these results that the two pairs of characteristics behave quite independently of each other and this led him to formulate his second law.
Dihybrid
• Dihybrid inheritance is the inheritance of 2 characteristics, each controlled by a different gene at a different locus.

LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT vs. MEIOSIS
LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT- Alleles of genes on nonhomologous chromosomes assort independently
during gamete formation.
• 1) Alleles at both loci segregate in anaphase I, yielding four types of daughter cells depending on the chromosome arrangement at metaphase I
• 2) Each gamete gets a long and a short chromosome in one of four allele combinations
• 3) Fertilization result in the 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio in the F2 generation
Test cross in dihybrid• Crossed F1 dihybrid with homozygous
recessive- Result : phenotypic ratio 1:1:1:1
SUMMARY :• Example of a monohybrid cross:
P generation: Homozygous tall pea plants X
Homozygous dwarf pea plants
F1 generation:
All tall pea plantsF1 tall X F1 tall
F2 generation:
About ¾ of the F2 plants will be tall
About ¼ of the F2 plants will be dwarf
• Random segregation can also be demonstrated with a testcross
• Testcross:– Cross heterozygous F1 individuals with
homozygous recessive
Dd X dd Testcross progeny
½ D All d ½ x 1 = ½ Dd Tall
½ d All d ½ x 1 = ½ dd Dwarf
Dihybrid :
P: Homozygous wild type X Vestigial ebony
F1: All wild type phenotypes,
F1 X F1
F2: 9/16 wild type phenotypes
3/16 wild type wings, ebony body
3/16 vestigial wings, wild type body
1/16 vestigial ebony
• The testcross can also be applied to independent assortment:
¼ vg+ vg e+ e (wild wing, wild body)
¼ vg+ vg e e (wild wing, ebony body)
¼ vg vg e+ e (vestigial wing, wild body)
¼ vg vg e e (vestigial wing, ebony body)
