Q. When a dihybrid cross is fit into a Punnett square with 16 boxes, the maximum number of different phenotypes available, are
A) 8
B) 4
C) 2
D) 16
Explanation
A cross between two individuals for studing inheritance of two characters is known as dihybrid cross.the phenotypic ratio in F2-generation of a dihybrid cross is 9 :3 : 3 : 1, therefore, the maximum number of different phenotypes available are four.
