Expected Phenotypes of F2 Cross - One Autosomal Trait and One sex Linked Trait. Complete Dominance. |
The Expected Genotypic and Phenotypic Arrays in the F2 cross for an autosomal gene with complete dominance is :
Genotypic Array |
Phenotypic Array | |
Females | 1/4A1A1: 1/2A1A2: 1/4A2A2 | 3/4A1+ 1/4A2 |
Males | 1/4A1A1: 1/2A1A2: 1/4A2A2 | 3/4A1+ 1/4A2 |
The Expected Genotypic and Phenotypic Arrays in the F2 cross for an X-linked gene (Y chromosome not shown) with complete dominance is :

*There are different arrays for males and females for each of the four F2 crosses
The joint phenotypic array for an autosomal gene and an X-linked gene is obtained by multiplying the separate phenotypic arrays.
Example : In the F2 generation the expected phenotypic arrays are:
Females: (3/4A1+ 1/4A2) * (X1) = 3/4A1X1+ 1/4A2X1
Males: (3/4A1+ 1/4A2) * (1/2X1:1/2X2) = 3/8A1X1 + 3/8A1X2 + 1/8A2X1 + 1/8A1X1
As long as you can develop a phenotypic array for any single gene, the joint phenotypic arrays for 1, 2 , 3 etc genes can be derived by multiplying the separate phenotypic arrays:
