What is a dihybrid cross?

Mating of organisms where two separate genes are studied

Number of alleles per gene in dihybrid cross

Two (dominant and recessive)

How many alleles per gene do gametes carry?

One allele

Tool to predict offspring combinations

Punnett square

What is an allele?

Different form of the same gene

What is a dominant allele?

Allele that masks the effect of recessive allele

What is a recessive allele?

Allele prevented from working by dominant allele
