Dihybrid Cross Calculator
Calculate phenotype ratios for a two-gene cross, including the classic 9:3:3:1.
Where 9:3:3:1 comes from
It is simply 3:1 multiplied by 3:1. Each gene independently gives three-quarters dominant and one-quarter recessive, so both dominant is ¾ × ¾ = 9/16. Independent assortment only holds when the genes sit on different chromosomes, or far enough apart on the same one — linked genes break the ratio, which is how genetic mapping began.
What this page needs from you
This page asks for parent 1 and parent 2. From those it returns both dominant phenotypes in %, together with a_b_ (both dominant), a_bb, aab_ and aabb (both recessive). Every figure updates as you type, and nothing you enter leaves your browser.
Reproducibility depends on the inputs
The arithmetic here is exact; the measurements feeding it usually are not. Pipetting error, incomplete mixing and drift in a spectrophotometer all propagate straight through. Where a result matters, run it in duplicate and compare rather than trusting a single reading.
The formula
Each gene assorts independently, so the joint probability is the product of the two single-gene probabilities
Every result on this page comes from this formula. Nothing is rounded until the final display, so figures match a spreadsheet to the cent.
How to use the Dihybrid Cross Calculator
- Fill in each field with your own figures — the defaults are only there as an example.
- The result updates as you type, so there is no button to press.
- Check the breakdown under the main result for the supporting numbers.
- Use the copy button to take the result with you, or share the link to reload the same inputs.
Dihybrid Cross Calculator — frequently asked questions
Is this dihybrid cross calculator free to use?
Yes. Every calculator on the site is free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser, so your figures never leave your device.
How accurate is the result?
The maths is exact for the formula shown on the page. Accuracy in the real world depends on your inputs and on assumptions the formula cannot see, so treat the output as a well-grounded estimate rather than a quote.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. The page is responsive, weighs a few kilobytes and works offline once loaded, so it behaves the same on a phone as on a desktop.
