Solution

The correct option is C

1:1:1:1


The genotype of F1 dihybrid is YyRr and it produces 4 types of gametes, YR, Yr, yR, yr. The recessive parent produces only one type of gamete (yr). Thus the progeny exhibit 4 different genotypes and phenotypes in equal proportions, making it a ratio of 1:1:1:1, YyRr, Yyrr, yyRr, yyrr respectively.
