Solution

The correct option is C 480
In a dihybrid cross, in $F_{2}$ generation 16 types of combinations are formed, out of which 10 are parental combinations and 6 progeny show new combinations (recombinants). So, in the $F_{2}$ generation out of the 1280 progeny formed, 800 showed parental phenotypes and 480 progenies were recombinants.
