In a plant tallenss is dominant over dwarfness and red flower is dominant over white. Starting with the parents work out a dihybrid cross. What is standard dihybrid ratio? Do you think the values would deviate if the two genes in question are interacting wiht each other?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


The standard dihybrid ratio is 9:3:3:1. Yes, the values will show deviation if the two genes in the above case are interacting with each other. When the genes are linked, they do not assort indipendently but remain together in the gametes aned the offsprings, give a dihybrid ratio of 3:1 and show a test cross ratio insteas of 1:1:1:1.
