Examiners report

Only 40 % of candidates answered this correctly. A surprisingly high number of candidates gave a genotype with only one allele for each gene, suggesting that they were not familiar with dihybrid crosses. In many cases it was hard to distinguish between upper and lower case letters -W/w and K/k. Candidates should be encouraged to make letters used for alleles as clear as possible.
