Full Dihybrid Cross: Genotype to Phenotype

Captions available

The idea

This capstone traces a dihybrid cross from two true-breeding parental genotypes through the F1 and F2 generations to the final 9:3:3:1 phenotype ratio.

Where people slip

The 9:3:3:1 ratio is a phenotype ratio built from sixteen equally likely gamete combinations sorting into nine distinct genotypes, not four — genotype and phenotype diverge exactly where dominance masks a heterozygous locus.
