Solution
| Monohybrid | Dihybrid |
| Crosses involving a single pair of alleles. It yields a phenotypic ratio of 3 : 1 in F2 generation. | Crosses involving two pairs of alleles. It yields a phenotypic ratio of 9 : 3 : 3 : 1 in F2 generation. |

In a monohybrid cross of plants with red and white flowered plants, Mendel got only red-flowered plants. On self-pollinating these F1 plants got both red and white flowered plants in 3:1 ratio. Explain the basis of using RR and rr symbols to represent the genotype of plants of parental generation.
Assertion (A): In humans, if gene (B) is responsible for black eyes and gene (b) responsible for brown eyes, then the colour of eyes of the progeny having gene combination Bb, bb or BB will be black only.
Reason (R): The black colour of the eyes is a dominant trait.
