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. |
