Transcript text: In a dihybrid cross, one is working with?
Solution
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.
