Genetic Crosses: Exploring Inheritance Patterns
What is a genetic cross between parents that differ in two characteristics called?
a) Monohybrid cross
b) Dihybrid cross
c) Phenotype cross
Answer:
A genetic cross between parents that differ in two characteristics is called a dihybrid cross.
A genetic cross between parents that differ in two characteristics is called a dihybrid cross. In a dihybrid cross, the inheritance of two different traits is studied simultaneously. This type of cross helps determine the inheritance patterns and the presence of different alleles for each trait.
