Imagine that you are crossing two plants that are heterozygous for flower color and seed shape. The dominant and recessive alleles for these traits are as follows:
purple flowers: P
white flowers: p
round seeds: R
wrinkled seeds: r
(2 points)
1. Determine the genotype of each parent plant and write them below.
Answer:
Genotype of parent plant 1:
Genotype of parent plant 2:
(4 points)
2. How will the alleles for these traits assort into the gametes that each parent might produce? (Hint: For a reminder on how alleles sort independently into gametes, refer to the illustration in Part 2, Question 2, in the Student Guide.)
Answer:
Parent plant 1
Gamete 1:
Gamete 2:
Gamete 3:
Gamete 4:
Parent plant 2
Gamete 1:
Gamete 2:
Gamete 3:
Gamete 4:

3. Create a Punnett square to calculate the possible genotypes that can result from a cross between the two parent plants. In a dihybrid cross, the alleles of the gametes of each parent are written along the left side and top of the Punnett square, just as they are for a monohybrid cross. Fill in the squares with the predicted genotypes. Some information has been filled in for you to help you complete a Punnett square for a dihybrid cross.
thank you to anyone who helps, this grade is an important to me and i am not going to lie this confuses the hell out of me
