Solution

These type of crosses can be challenging to set up, and the square you create will be 4x4. This simple guide will walk you through the steps of solving a typical dihybrid cross common in genetics. The method can also work for any cross that involves two traits.
The phenotypic ration will be 9:3:3:1.
The tall trait is dominant and will express itself in the heterozygous condition also.
