Question
Distinguish between monohybrid and dihybrid cross.
Solution
| Monohybrid cross | Dihybrid cross |
The cross in which only one pair of contrasting characters is involved is known as a monohybrid cross. |
The cross in which only two pairs of contrasting characters are involved is known as a dihybrid cross. |
| A monohybrid cross is useful in determining the dominance of genes. | A dihybrid cross is useful in studying the assortment of the offspring. |
| example: a cross between a tall and dwarf plant. | example: a cross between a tall plant having a red flower and a dwarf plant having a white flower. |
