Title: What is the probability (see details in question) of getting a pea with genotype RRYY?
Post by: jtoya18 on Jun 22, 2013
In a dihybrid cross that follows the pattern of inheritance of two traits (yellow/green (Yy), and round/wrinkled (Rr) peas the F1 generation with genotype RrYy were self-cross. What is the probability of getting a pea with the genotype RRYY?

I don't care if answer is percentage or fraction...

1/16.

You could either do the 4x4 Punnett square, RrYy x RrYy, or you could do the 2 genes separately:  The chance of getting RR from Rr x Rr is 1/4:

____R____r___
R__RR___Rr__
r___Rr___rr___

The same is true of getting YY from Yy x Yy.

And 1/4 x 1/4 is 1/16.
