A 9:3:3:1 ratio of phenotypes in the F2 generation of a dihybrid cross 1. holds true only for genes on the same chromosome. 2. indicates that the dihybrid cross is basically equivalent to two independent monohybrid crosses. 3. is not indicative of independent assortment. 4. indicates that an epistatic relationship exists between the two genes under investigation. 13.

The principle of independent assortment 1. explains the 3:1 ratio of phenotypes in the F2 generation of Mendel's dihybrid crosses. 2. states that a dihybrid cross is essentially equivalent to a monohybrid cross. 3. arises from the random alignment of different chromosomes at metaphase I of meiosis. 4. none of the above. 21.
