Pancreatic cancer is clearly inherited as an autosomal dominant trait in the family illustrated in Figure 23.1. Yet most cases of pancreatic cancer are sporadic, appearing as isolated cases in families with no obvious inheritance.

Produce a Punnett square to illustrate the dihybrid cross described below: There are two common alleles for the TAS2R38 gene on Chromosome 7. This gene encodes a seven-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor. This receptor controls the ability to taste glucosinolates. Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is a synthetic glucosinolate. The recessive TAS2R38 allele produces a non-functional receptor. The father in this dihybrid cross is heterozygous for these alleles, meaning that he can taste PTC. The mother is homozygous recessive, meaning that she cannot taste PTC The father has X-Linked Protoporphyria which means that he is very sensitive to sunlight exposure, he is hemizygous for the dominant causative mutation. The mother is homozygous wild type at the same locus. Add a file here showing your diagram.
