22. If it were possible, how would you determine whether a tall individual is heterozygous or
homozygous?
23. How do the observed phenotypes of your seedlings compare with the expected F2 ratio?
To calculate your expected ratio numbers given the total number of seedlings that you counted
use the following steps:
A. Determine your expected ratio. For a monohybrid cross between two F1 plants, both
heterozygous for the trait, you would expect a 3:1 ratio. If you add 3+1, it equals 4.
Therefore, each category is a fraction of 4. This means that you expect the following
fractions 3/4 and 1/4 for the two phenotypic class.
B. Determine your total number of corn plants actually counted.
C. Multiple each fraction by the total number of seedlings you actually counted.
a. For example, if you counted 85 seedlings, you would expect the following:
i. 3/4 X 85= 64 tall seedlings
ii. 1/4 X 85 = 21 dwarf seedlings
D. Add the 2 resulting numbers to verify that they add up to your total number
E. Compare the 2 resulting numbers (your expected numbers) to your actual numbers using
Chi Square statistical analysis (to be completed later in Exercise III).
Exercise II: Dihybrid Cross
Dihybrid crosses involve the inheritance of two different traits. Using the same steps
listed above in the monohybrid crosses, fill in the outline below for the following dihybrid cross.
A tall (dominant) TT, broad-leaf (recessive) bb plant is crossed with a short (recessive) tt,
narrow-leaf (dominant) BB plant.
