In polygenic inheritance, a trait is controlled by two pairs of genes. Two individuals which are heterozygous for both genes, crossed each other, such type of cross produces what phenotypic ratio ?

Solution

Polygenic inheritance: count the number of total dominant allele
As the number of total dominant allele would determine the type of phenotype.

In dihybrid cross, you will get total 1 : 4 : 6 : 4 : 1 phenotypes
