If there are 80 individuals in the f2 generation of a dihybrid cross involving duplicate genes, what would be the expected number of the dominant phenotype?

The correct answer is 45.

A dihybrid cross is a mating experiment between two organisms that are identically hybrid for two traits.

In F1 generation all of the offspring will be heterozygous. In F2 generation the phenotype ratio will be 9:3:3:1. 9 represents the ratio for dominant phenotype.

If there is 80 individuals than:

80/(9+3+3+1)=5

5*9=45

desert perennials often survive by remaining dormant during dry periods of the year, then springing to life when water becomes available. most annual desert plants germinate only after heavy seasonal rain, then complete their reproductive cycle very quickly.
