F1 And F2 Generation Of Dihybrid Cross
316 tall plants with dented seeds.
F1 and f2 generation of dihybrid cross. As in a dihybrid cross the f1 generation plants produced from a monohybrid cross are heterozygous and only the dominant phenotype is observed. About 34 exhibit the dominant phenotype and 14 exhibit the recessive phenotype. The parents of the dihybrid cross are identically hybrid for two traits. He then planted and observed the offspring from this cross.
In a dihybrid cross the parents carry different pair of alleles for each trait. If the two traits are unlinked and the f1 plants are self fertilized in the f2 generation plants we expect the 9331 ratio of offspring. The outcome and the dihybrid cross ratio were round yellow wrinkled yellow wrinkled green round green and the ratio was 9331. Also a dihybrid cross is performed to describe the inheritance of two traits.
One parent carries homozygous dominant allele while the other one carries homozygous recessive allele. The phenotypic ratio of the resulting f2 generation is 31. The dihybrid cross is sstt x sstt. All plants will be heterozygous tall.
Mendel observed that the f2 generation contained a mixture of green and yellow pods. F1 and f2 generation are the two generations of the offspring of a dihybrid cross. Let us take a cross between a homozygous tall and homozygous dwarf pea plants. In f2 generation we will get the following combination of gametes ry ry ry ry ry.
In the mendelian inheritance a dihybrid cross describes the second law or the law of independent assortment. Mendel took a plant from the f1 generation and allowed that plant to self fertilize. Because it is a cross of the offspring it represents the second filial generation or f2 generation. 916 tall plants with spherical seeds.
Self pollination of f1 progeny resulted in four varying combinations of seeds in the subsequent generation the f2 generation. The offsprings produced after the crosses in the f1 generation are all heterozygous for specific traits. For example in a cross between rryy round yellow seeds of pea plant and rryy green wrinkled seeds of pea plant all f1 offspring would be rryy ie. All f1 hybrids would be sstt.
