Question

In his study with pea plants, Mendel studied how short and tall the offspring were after crossing the purebreds. This would be an example of a:

a) Dihybrid cross
b) Trihybrid cross
c) Monohybrid cross
d) Both a and c answers are correct.

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is C, a monohybrid cross.

Explanation:

A dihybrid cross would be crossing 2 (usually linked) traits in the same punnett square, while a trihybrid cross is with 3 traits. Since he's only studying 1 trait (tall vs. short) the answer is C, a monohybrid cross.
