Investigation 3: Dihybrid Cross Activity with Corn

Below you will see a cross between heterozygous purple, smooth corn individuals (RrSs x RrSs). Please fill in table of the lab report with the tallies of the given phenotypes in the key. You will also be completing the Dihybrid Cross of these two corn individuals within the lab report to be able to calculate ratios that should be seen within this demonstration. Please refer to information supplied in earlier Dihybrid Cross Activity.

You can control the corn by:

  • Tapping the up arrow key or the down arrow key to roll the corn.
  • The z key zooms in.
  • The x key zooms out.
