Monohybrid cross
The ears you have contain the F2 seed (kernels) of an original cross between parents that
were homozygous dominant (RR) and homozygous recessive (rr) for the aleurone color
gene.
Color gene: Purple allele = R
Yellow allele = r
1. What are the expected phenotypic and genotypic ratios? Please show/explain how you
derived your answers.
2. Count and record the number of kernels in the different phenotypes:
____________________ ________________
____________________ ________________
3. Using Chi-square analysis, determine whether or not your data fit the expected
phenotypic ratio. You should include: 1) null hypothesis, 2) all work in chi-square
calculations and 3) do you reject or fail to reject your null hypothesis.
Dihybrid cross
Your ear of corn for this exercise again differs in color. The second trait controls whether
the texture of the kernels is smooth or rough.
Color gene: Purple allele = R
yellow allele = r
Shape gene: Round (starchy) allele = T
Wrinkled (sweet) allele = t
The second set of ears you have contain the F 2 seed (kernels) of an original cross between
parents that were homozygous dominant for the aleurone color and sugary genes (RRTT)
and homozygous recessive for the aleurone color and sugary genes (rrtt).
1. What are the expected phenotypic and genotypic ratios? Please show/explain how you
derived your answers.
