Document Summary

If we are discussing a f1 monohybrid cross the mono refers to one gene, while hybrid refers to the fact that both parents are hybrids resulting from a cross involving two true breeding strains (i. e. , the p generation). At maximum, there are 2 possible alleles that a diploid individual can carry (regardless of how many different alleles exist for that gene in the population). The if the parent is homozygous, all gametes will (genotypically) be alike for the gene of interest; if the parent is heterozygous, each gamete could receive 1 of the 2 possible alleles. In a dihybrid cross, two loci are being studied simultaneously. This type of question might seem more complicated, but it really isn"t. The trick is to look at each gene independently. In each gamete, a certain allele of one locus can be combined with either allele of the other locus this is the principle of independent.
