Solution

The correct option is D 750
The ratio of parental to non parental combinations (recombinants) is 10:6 in F $_{2}$ generation of dihybrid cross. In the dihybrid cross mentioned here, 2000 individuals are produced in F $_{2}$ generation, hence phenotypically different progenies i.e., number of recombinants will be $\frac{6}{16} \times 2000 = 750$ .
