• Title: Dihybrid Crosses
• Page: 52
• Date: 12-2-15
• Essential Question: How are dihybrid crosses
different from a monohybrid cross?
 Dihybrid Cross:
a cross that shows the possible offspring for two traits
Trait one Trait Two

Fur Color:
Color Coat Texture:
Texture
B: Black R: Rough
b: White r: Smooth

In this example, we will cross a

heterozygous individual with another
heterozygous individual. Their
genotypes will be:

BbRr x BbRr
 Dihybrid Cross
BbRr x BbRr
DAD MOM

Step 1: Find ALL possible gametes that can be

made from each parent.
Remember, each gamete must have one B and
one R.

Answer the following question
at the bottom of your notes:

What type of scientist might use

a dihybrid cross?
 Practice in your notes…
In pea plants, yellow seeds (Y) are dominant over green
seeds (y), and rounded peas (R) are dominant over
wrinkled peas (r).

Cross (what do you have to draw?) a plant that is

heterozygous for both traits with a plant that is
homozygous recessive for both traits. Draw a
Punnett square to show all possible offspring, and
determine the genotypic and phenotypic ratios.

In pea plants, yellow seeds (Y) are dominant over green seeds
(y), and rounded peas (R) are dominant over wrinkled peas (r).

Cross a plant that is heterozygous for both traits with a plant that
is homozygous recessive for both traits.

Genotypes: YyRr and yyrr

What is the probability that the
plant will be yellow and wrinkled?
