Question
Differentiate Between Monohybrid and Dihybrid cross.
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. |

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.
