The answer is the third one: AABB × aabb.

Explanation:

  1. aa × AA: This represents a monohybrid cross, not a dihybrid cross, because it involves only one gene with two alleles (A and a).

  2. AB × ab: This notation is not complete for a dihybrid cross. It lacks the specification of two alleles for each of two genes, which is necessary for a dihybrid cross.

  3. AABB × aabb: This is a classic example of a Mendelian dihybrid cross. It involves two genes, each with two alleles (A/a and B/b), and both parents are homozygous for both genes.

  4. AABB × aaBB: This is not a dihybrid cross because both parents are homozygous for the B gene, so it does not involve two heterozygous gene pairs.

  5. aaBb × AABb: This is not a dihybrid cross because the parents are not homozygous for both genes. It involves heterozygosity in only one gene (B/b).

  6. AAbb × aaBB: This is not a dihybrid cross because each parent is homozygous for one gene and heterozygous for the other, which does not fit the classic dihybrid cross definition.

In summary, the third option, AABB × aabb, is the only one that represents a true Mendelian dihybrid cross.
