Dihybrid Guinea Pigs

A dihybrid cross involves breeding organisms to study how two unrelated genes interact to influence two different traits. The document provides an example of a dihybrid cross between organisms that can be black or white based on the B gene, and have short or long hair based on the L gene. Students are asked to determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring from this cross and calculate the expected ratios.

DIHYBRID CROSS

Name ___________________________
A cross (or mating)
between two organisms
where two genes are
studied is called a
DIHYBRID cross.
The genes are located on
separate chromosomes, so
the traits themselves are
unrelated.

BB = black
Bb = black
bb = white
LL = short hair
Ll = short hair
ll = long hair

Fill out the genotypes


of each of the
offspring to
determine how many
of each type of
offspring are
produced.
Phenotypic ratios - How many, out of 16 are:

Black, Short
________________

Black, Long
