Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A dihybrid individual possesses two kinds of alleles of two different traits. This means that for each of the two traits, the individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele. Homozygotes have identical alleles for a particular trait, whereas monohybrids are individuals that are heterozygous for only one trait. True breeding refers to the ability of the organism to produce offspring identical to the parent when self-fertilized or mated with a genetically identical individual. Diallelic refers to a gene having two alleles.
