In a dihybrid cross between two heterozygous individuals, what is the expected phenotypic ratio in the F2 generation?
Fill a bubble to see the solution
Answer: A
9 : 3 : 3 : 1
Why
Two genes assorting independently, each heterozygous, produce four gamete types in equal frequency. The 4x4 Punnett square gives 9 both-dominant, 3 dominant-recessive, 3 recessive-dominant and 1 both-recessive.
