Once you understand monohybrid cross, dihybrid cross is
basically the same thing. However, In
contrast to a monohybrid cross, a dihybrid cross is a cross
between F1 offspring
(first-generation offspring) of two individuals that differ in
two traits of particular interest. For Dihybrid
crossing, there are always 2 different traits Represented by different
alphabets, for example let R be a dog with Red eyes and r be black eyes while Y
be yellow skin and y be white skin. The question might be something like what are
the genotype and phenotype ratios if you mate two heterozygous dogs together,
which in this case would be RrYy X RrYy. And then basically you simply isolate the Rr X Rr and Yy X Yy and do the punett squares for both of them, then you multiply the results to get the ratios. Not rocket science.
