Shortcut Methods
Dihybrid Cross
1. Two Traits Studied: Involves inheritance of two different traits.
2. Alleles: Each trait has two alleles (dominant and recessive).
3. Independent Assortment: Traits inherited independently of each other.
4. Parental Genotypes: Identify genotypes of two parental organisms.
5. Gametes: Determine possible gametes for each trait.
6. Punnett Square: Use a 4x4 Punnett square to predict offspring genotypes.
7. Genotypic/Phenotypic Ratios: Analyze the Punnett square for these ratios.
8. Results Interpretation: Understand the inheritance patterns of traits.
