genotypes?
PART 2
Mendel’s experimentation with peas continued:

Mendel performed another set of crosses in
which he used peas that differed from each other
in two traits rather than only one.

A cross involving two pairs of contrasting
traits is called a dihybrid cross (because di
means “two”). example: seed shape (smooth
vs. wrinkled) and seed color (yellow vs. green).

Mendel wanted to find out if the two traits would
stay together in the next generation (do they
influence one another).

After Mendel experimented with the dihybrid
crosses, he found that alleles sorted
independently.
“Mendel’s Law of Independent
Assortment”: two alleles for different traits
can segregate independently during the
formation of gametes.
How do we use a Punnett square
to conduct Dihybrid Crosses?
We start by determining the possible gamete
combination of each parent’s genotype.
#1. Possible Gametes:
To determine the number of different gametes a parent can have, we use the
acronym FOIL (First – Outer – Inner – Last) with the pair of traits.
rrEe

There are 2 possible gametes:

acronym FOIL (First – Outer – Inner – Last) with the pair of traits.

Why Did Mendel Conclude That The
Inheritance of one Trait is Independent
of Another?
Phenotype Ratio:
9 yellow/smooth
3 yellow/wrinkled
3 green/smooth
1 green/wrinkled
Because it’s the
only way to explain
the pattern of
inheritance.
What Works
for Peas Also
Works for
Humans
Consider a cross
between parents
heterozygous for
both deafness and
albinism.
This is the same
9:3:3:1 ratio seen
for Mendel’s cross
involving pea
color and shape.
Going Beyond
Dominant and Recessive
There are always exceptions to
the rule…
Some alleles are related through
Incomplete Dominance
a cross between organisms
with two different phenotypes
produces hybrid offspring with
a third phenotype that is a
blending of the parental
traits.
Remember Incomplete Dominance
RED Flower x WHITE Flower ---> PINK Flower
WW
white
Codominance
A cross between two different
phenotypes produces a third
phenotype where both traits
appear “together” in a hybrid
offspring.

A. Cross between a homozygous red flower
and a homozygous white flower.
B. Cross between homozygous IA blood type
and homozygous IB blood type.

Polygenic Inheritance –
when a single trait is influenced
by many genes
Polygenic Inheritance
Examples: Height
Hair texture
Skin color
eye color
Multiple Alleles
Many genes are present in 3 or
more alleles (versions). This is
known as multiple alleles.
The human ABO blood group
is determined by three alleles
(IA, IB, and i) of a single gene.

Sex-Linked Traits
Characteristics that are
inherited from genes
found on the sex
chromosomes.
Sex-Linked Traits
• Sex Determination
– Females – XX
– Males – XY
• Almost all sex-linked traits are found on
the X chromosome
• Y chromosome contains very few genes
and is mainly involved in sex
determination
Intro to Human a Karyotype
Normal Male and Female
Karyotypes
See page 341 in your biology textbook
In a human karyotype, the first 22 pairs of chromosomes are the
autosomes. The 23rd pair of chromosomes are the sex chromosomes
Examples of X-linked traits:
1. Color Blindness
2. Hemophilia
3. Muscular Dystrophy
Colorblindness
• A person with normal color vision sees a number seven in
the circle above.
• Those who are color blind usually do not see any number
at all.
Colorblindness
• RED-GREEN
COLORBLINDNESS:
• People with red-green
color blindness see
either a three or
nothing at all.
• Those with normal
color vision see an 8.
Carrier – person who has one recessive
allele and one dominant allele for a trait or
heterozygous for that trait.
