Title: How do I use these Genotypes and Phenotypes in a Dihybrid Cross?
Post by: smileetons on Apr 14, 2012
I need to use Rrtt and rrTt, but doesn't the Rrtt only give you three? I'm confused, please HELP!

Make a 4 by 4 square. Write RT, rT, Rt and rt on the top and left. Croos them and you will get 16 phenotypes and genotypes. The dominant is always R and T. This is tobe noted. \

Not sure what you're looking for, but this is a 2x2 Punnett square.  Rrtt produces 2 kinds of gametes, Rt and rt.  rrTt produces 2 kinds of gametes, rT and rt.  The Punnett square is:
______Rt______rt___
rT____RrTt____rrTt__
rt____Rrtt_____rrtt__

Both the genotypic and phenotypic ratios are 1:1:1:1
