Solution
The correct option is C dihybrid cross
A genetic cross between parents that differ in two characteristics is a dihybrid cross. Mendel performed a dihybrid cross using pea plants and the characteristics of seed colour and texture: the parental plants had either smooth yellow seeds (SSYY) – the dominant characteristics – or wrinkled green seeds (ssyy) – the recessive characteristics. All the offspring had smooth yellow seeds in F1 generation, being heterozygous (SsYy) for the two alleles.
