Part 2: Dihybrid Cross—Predicting Flower Color and Seed Shape

Imagine that you are crossing two plants that are heterozygous for flower color and seed shape. The dominant and recessive alleles for these traits are as follows:

purple flowers: P

white flowers: p

round seeds: R

wrinkled seeds: r

Genotype of parent plant 1: Pp Rr

Genotype of parent plant 2: Rr Pp


How will the alleles for these traits assort into the gametes that each parent might produce?
