First, students are asked to build a key table (Table 1) to list all alleles and genes involved in the monohybrid cross. Using Table 1, they proceed to build a Punnett square to show genotypic outcomes.

At this point, the dihybrid cross is essentially identical to a sample monohybrid cross, except with two traits.
