Question
Differentiate between the following:
Monohybrid and Dihybrid
Advertisements
Solution
| Sr. No. | Monohybrid | Dihybrid |
| 1. | A cross between two pure organisms is used to explore the inheritance of a specific pair of alleles. | A cross between two pure organisms of the same species is used to explore the inheritance of allele pairs. |
| 2. | The F2 generation produces a phenotypic monohybrid ratio of 3 : 1. | The F2 generation produces a phenotypic dihybrid ratio of 9 : 3 : 3 : 1. |
| 3. | It generates a genotypic ratio of 1 : 2 : 1 in F2. | It produces a genotypic ratio of 1 : 2 : 1 : 2 : 4 : 2 : 1 : 2 : 1 in F2. |
| 4. | For example, the cross between tall and dwarf pea plants is a monohybrid cross. | For example, the cross between pea plants having yellow, wrinkled seeds with those having green, round seeds is a dihybrid cross. |

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.
