Part 3: Dihybrid Crosses
## Dihybrid Crosses
Part 3 of 7 โ Dihybrid Crosses
- Two-gene Punnett square (4ร4 = 16 outcomes)
- Expected phenotypic ratio: 9:3:3:1
- AaBb ร AaBb cross
- Deviation from 9:3:3:1 suggests gene linkage

## Pedigree Analysis
Part 4 of 7 โ Pedigree Analysis
- Circles = females, squares = males
- Filled = affected, open = unaffected
- Autosomal dominant: affected in every generation
- Autosomal recessive: can skip generations, carrier parents

## Chi-Square Analysis
Part 5 of 7 โ Chi-Square Analysis
- Tests if observed data fits expected ratios
- ฯยฒ = ฮฃ (observed - expected)ยฒ / expected
- Degrees of freedom = categories - 1
- p < 0.05: reject null hypothesis (results differ significantly)
