Differentiate Between Monohybrid and Dihybrid cross.
Advertisements
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. |
