In a plant, tallness is dominant over dwarfness and red flower is dominant over white. Starting with the parents, work out a dihybrid cross. What is the standard dihybrid ratio? Do you think the values would deviate if the two genes in question are interacting with each other?

(D) The parents are $TTRR$ (Tall Red) and $ttrr$ (Dwarf White).
$F_{1}$ generation: $TtRr$ (Tall Red) $\times$ $TtRr$ (Selfing).
$F_{2}$ generation Punnett Square:
Gametes$TR$$Tr$$tR$$tr$

$tr$$TtRr$ (Tall Red)$Ttrr$ (Tall White)$ttRr$ (Dwarf Red)$ttrr$ (Dwarf White)

The standard dihybrid phenotypic ratio is $9:3:3:1$.
Yes, the values would deviate if the two genes interact with each other (e.g., epistasis or complementary gene action), as the independent assortment of traits would be altered.
