. Give the predicted phenotypes for the F1-generation resulting from a dihybrid cross of the haploid gametes originating from the diploid parents, RRtt x rrTT, in the Punnett Square below. In each square, choose colony colour (red or white) and growth / no growth on MIN (+ or -) from the drop-down menus. Also choose the correct the genotypes of the haploid gametes. The RRtt parent gives rise to the mating type “alpha” gametes and the rrTT parent forms “a” mating type gametes. 5 marks
