Understanding Dihybrid Crosses: What Happens When Two Different Genes Combine?

Learn about dihybrid crosses and how different genes affect inheritance in this concise overview of genetic experiments.

69 views

A cross between two different genes refers to the process known as a dihybrid cross. This genetic experiment involves organisms that are heterozygous for two traits, and it helps in understanding how different genetic traits are inherited and expressed in offspring.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What is a dihybrid cross? A dihybrid cross is a genetic experiment that examines the inheritance of two different traits, focusing on how they segregate and combine in offspring.
  2. How are traits inherited in genetics? Traits are inherited through genes that are passed down from parents to offspring, where dominant and recessive alleles determine the expression of these traits.
