Dihybrid Crosses and
Law of Independent Assortment
Monohybrid cross
• Mendel’s experiments followed the
inheritance of single characters
– E.g. flower color, seed color , etc.
– monohybrid crosses
Law of Segregation
Review
– During gamete formation,
alleles segregate (separate)
• only one of two allelles for a gene
is put into a gamete.
– At fertilization, offspring receive
one allele for each gene from
each parent.
– alleles are on different
chromosomes!
Dihybrid cross
• Other of Mendel’s
experiments followed the
inheritance of 2 different
characters
– seed color and
seed shape
– dihybrid crosses
Mendel
was working out
many of the
genetic rules!

What’s going on here?
• If alleles (different characteristics) are on different
chromosomes…
– Are alleles transmitted from parents to offspring together
or independently?
– Will the Y and R alleles always stay together, generation
after generation?
Is it this?

Can you think
of an exception
to this?
Mendel’s 2nd law of heredity
• Law of independent assortment
yellow
green
round
wrinkled
– Each pair of alleles (different characteristics)
segregate independently
• non-homologous chromosomes align
independently
• only true if alleles (different characteristics) are on
separate chromosomes (e.g. gene for colour on
separate chromosome as gene for texture)

Law of Independent Assortment
 Which stage of meiosis creates
the law of independent
assortment?
Remember
Mendel didn’t
even know DNA
—or genes—
existed!
Metaphase 1
EXCEPTION
 If genes are on same chromosome &
close together
 will usually be inherited together
 rarely crossover separately
 “linked”
Sample Problem
In pea plants, the green colour allele (G) is
dominant over the yellow colour allele (g) for
seed colour and tall (T) is the dominant plant
height. A pea plant that is heterozygous for
both seed colour and height is crossed with a
plant that is homozygous recessive for both.
Determine the genotypic ratio for their offspring.

• What is the probability of getting an offspring
that are heterozygous for both characters?
A: They must be GgTt
4/16 = ¼ or 25%
