  • Dihybrid: Understanding Alleles and Genetic Traits
    An individual possessing both kinds of alleles for two different traits is called dihybrid.

    Here's why:

    * Dihybrid refers to an individual that is heterozygous for two different genes.

    * Heterozygous means having two different alleles for a particular gene.

    * Alleles are alternative forms of a gene.

    For example, if you have a gene for eye color and a gene for hair color, and you have two different alleles for each gene, you would be considered dihybrid.
