Here's a breakdown:
* Heterozygous: Means having two different alleles for a particular gene.
* Dihybrid: Means having two different traits that are being considered.
Example:
Let's say we have a plant with the following genotype:
* YyRr
* Yy: Heterozygous for the gene controlling flower color (Y = yellow, y = green)
* Rr: Heterozygous for the gene controlling seed shape (R = round, r = wrinkled)
This plant is a dihybrid because it's heterozygous for both flower color and seed shape.
