Question

Mendel wanted to find out if the pattern of inheritance for one trait affected
the pattern of inheritance for another. What experiment did he perform to test
this idea?
O
A. He tested non-dominant traits.
O
B. He performed dihybrid crosses.
O
C. He made an F3 generation.
O
D. He tested one trait at a time.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

• A dihybrid cross involves such a cross where the inheritance of two different traits is simultaneously observed.
• The genotypes and the corresponding phenotypes obtained with respect to individual trait in the F1 and the F2 generations of the cross will help to determine whether the inheritance pattern of one trait is affected by the other or not.
• The genotype and the phenotype ratio is determined to understand the dependence of one trait over the other.
