Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The dihybrid cross is the cross between the two organisms that carry same allele for two different traits. The Mendel gave the relationship between the dominant and recessive gene. The law of independent assortment explains that if the parents carry heterozygous alleles for two triats, dominant trait will mask the recessive trait in the ${\text{F}}_{\text{1}}$ generation. The ${\text{F}}_{\text{2}}$ generation will show different genotypes which are recombinant of the two parental traits.

Pictorial representation: The dihybrid cross between $\text{SsBb}\text{×}\text{SsBb}$.
