Dihybrid cross practice

This classroom material offers 10th-grade students practice with dihybrid crosses, focusing on two-trait inheritance, gamete formation using FOIL, and calculating phenotypic ratios like 9:3:3:1 through independent assortment. Activities include identifying gametes, sequencing FOIL steps, and solving probability problems.

Questions

  1. What is the expected phenotypic ratio in the F2 generation of a dihybrid cross (AaBb x AaBb) if both traits show complete dominance and assort independently?
  2. Which of the following gametes can be produced by an individual with genotype AaBb?
  3. Place the steps of using the FOIL method to determine gametes from a genotype AaBb in the correct order.
  4. Fill in the blanks: In a cross between AaBb x AaBb, the probability of getting an offspring with the genotype aabb is ___.
  5. In a dihybrid cross, the law of ___ explains why alleles for different traits separate independently during gamete formation.
  6. Match each genotype to its correct phenotype, assuming A and B are dominant and a and b are recessive.
  7. Sort the following offspring phenotypes from a dihybrid cross into the correct categories.
  8. Mark each statement about dihybrid crosses as true or false.
  9. What is the term for the process by which alleles for different traits separate independently during gamete formation? (Acceptable answers: independent assortment, law of independent assortment)
