Solution

The correct option is D

YR & yr


  • The parents in Mendel’s dihybrid cross were pure lines and were homozygous for both the characters.
  • So, parent with genotype (YYRR) was crossed with the parent of genotype (yyrr).
  • They produced two type of gametes, (YR) from the homozygous parent with the dominant trait and (yr) from the homozygous parent with the recessive trait.
