The answer is the first one (A): two characteristics.

Explanation:

  • A dihybrid cross involves the study of two different characteristics or traits. It is a cross between two individuals that are both heterozygous for two traits. For example, in Mendelian genetics, a classic dihybrid cross might involve looking at seed shape and seed color in pea plants.
  • Option B (one characteristic) is incorrect because a cross involving only one characteristic is known as a monohybrid cross.
  • Option C (three characteristics) is incorrect because a cross involving three characteristics would be a trihybrid cross, not a dihybrid cross.

In summary, a dihybrid cross involves two characteristics.
