Question

Two heterozygous parents are crossed. If the two loci are linked, what would be the distribution of phenotypic features in the F1 generation for a dihybrid cross?

Solution

Two heterozygous parents (i.e., GgLl and GgLl) are crossed, and the two loci are linked; then the cross will be:

This means, if ‘G’ represents a grey body (dominant), ‘g’ a black body (recessive), ‘L’ long (dominant) and ‘l’ dwarf (recessive), then the distribution of phenotypic features in the F1 generation will be 3 : 1, i.e., `3/4` will show the dominant feature, grey and long, either in a homozygous (GGLL) or in a heterozygous (GgLl) condition and `1/4` will show the recessive feature, black and dwarf (ggll).
