If two traits are studied together what type of Mendel's experiment is it?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Dihybrid cross
The prefix mono means one, so a monohybrid cross examines the inheritance of one contrasting pair of traits. The prefix di means two, so a dihybrid cross follows two contrasting pairs simultaneously, for example seed shape and seed colour. Therefore B is correct. A refers to only one trait, while C and D are different biological topics rather than types of Mendelian crosses.
