Solution

The correct option is D 750
The ratio of parental to non parental combinations (recombinants) is 10:6 in F2 generation of dihybrid cross. In the dihybrid cross mentioned here, 2000 individuals are produced in F2 generation, hence phenotypically different progenies i.e., number of recombinants will be 616×2000=750.
