Question

step 3: predict the offspring of a dihybrid cross (bbee × bbee)
the punnett square shows a text cross of mice that are heterozygous for both traits. what will their offspring be? fill in the white boxes of the punnett square with all possible offspring genotypes.
a female mouse that is heterozygous for both genes (bbee)
a male mouse that is heterozygous for both genes (bbee)

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the Punnett square rules

In a Punnett square for a dihybrid cross, we combine the alleles from the male (top - row) and female (left - column) gametes. For the cell where the female gamete is \(Be\) and the male gamete is \(BE\), we combine the alleles.

Step2: Combine the alleles

When combining \(Be\) (from female) and \(BE\) (from male), for the \(B/b\) gene: \(B\times B = BB\). For the \(E/e\) gene: \(e\times E=Ee\). So the genotype is \(BBEe\).

Answer:

\(BBEe\)
