A Dihybrid Cross is One in Which

Question

A dihybrid cross is one in which:
A) One trait is studied
B) Two traits are studied at the same time
C) Two organisms are studied at the same time
D) Four traits are studied at the same time
E) None of these

Accepted Answer

In a dihybrid cross, two traits are studied at the same time. This involves crossing two organisms that differ in two traits and analyzing the inheritance of both traits in the offspring. This helps to determine the pattern of inheritance of multiple genes present in the organisms.
