Question

examples for monohybrid cross and dihybrid cross

Answer 1

Monohybrid cross

Monohybrid cross is a cross of two individuals with different alleles of a single trait.

Eg:-Mendel crossed pure tall plant with pure dwarf plant. He expected plants of intermediate

height, in F1 generation but to his surprise all the plants were tall.

Dihybrid cross

Dihybrid cross is a cross of two individual differing in two different contrasting pair of character.

Eg: crossing of Mendel with with green pod colour (GG) and yellow seed colour (YY), resulting in the formation of offspring which were heterozygous for green pod colour and yellow seeds (GgYy).
