This guide explores a dihybrid cross involving two different traits: hair length and eye color. In this genetic scenario, hair length exhibits two alleles—short hair (dominant, LL or Ll) and long hair (recessive, ll), while eye color has black eyes (dominant, RR or Rr) and red eyes (recessive, rr). Both parents are heterozygous for these traits (LlRr), leading to various combinations in offspring. By applying the FOIL method, we determine the potential phenotypes of children, including short hair with black or red eyes and long hair with either eye color.
