1.3 Dihybrid cross (Experiment 2)
n the second experiment, we will study the result obtained from a dihybrid cross. A dihybrid cross is a
cross between two different lines (varieties, strains) that differ in two observed traits. In the name
Dihybrid cross", the "di" indicates that there are two traits involved (in our example designated R and Su),
the "hybrid" means that each trait has two different alleles (in our example R and r, or Su and su), and
"cross" means that there are two individuals who are combining or "crossing" their genetic information. In
our example, a pure strain of corn producing purple-starchy kernels (RR SuSu) is crossed with a pure
strain producing yellow-sweet (rr susu). The starchy seeds are smooth, the sweet seeds are wrinkled. The
resulting F1 ears all bear purple-starchy (smooth) kernels. Plants that are heterozygous for two traits are
called dihybrids. When the F1 is self-pollinated, the resulting F2 generation contains various combinations
(Figure 11.4).
Figure 11.4: Dihybrid cross
The rules of meiosis, as they apply to the dihybrid, are codified in Mendel's first law and Mendel's second
law, which are also called the Law of Segregation and the Law of Independent Assortment, respectively
(Table 11.1). For genes on separate chromosomes, each allele pair showed independent segregation. If
the first filial generation (F1 generation) produces four identical offspring, the second filial generation,
which occurs by crossing the members of the first filial generation, shows a phenotypic (appearance) ratio
of 9:3:3:1, where:
• the 9 represents the proportion of individuals displaying both dominant traits
• the first 3 represents the individuals displaying the first dominant trait and the second recessive trait
• the second 3 represents those displaying the first recessive trait and second dominant trait
• the 1 represents the homozygous, displaying both recessive traits.
