Dihybrid cross

A dihybrid cross is a genetic experiment that looks at how two different traits are inherited together. It involves crossing organisms that have different versions (alleles) of two genes, each affecting a different trait—like seed color and shape in plants. By studying the offspring, scientists can see how these traits are inherited and predict the likelihood of various combinations. This helps understand how genes are passed on and how traits can mix or stay separate, revealing how multiple genetic factors interact in inheritance patterns.
