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.
