The cross RR X Dd is showing two different genes for the parents (it is showing RR for one parent and Dd for the other) - therefore this is not a dihybrid cross.
However, if it was RRDd X RRDd, this would be a dihybrid cross.
For a dihybrid cross, you need to include two different genes (and show these genes in both the parents).
So - BbFf X bbff, GGTT X ggtt, KKPp X KkPp - are all examples of dihybrid crosses.
A dihybrid cross results in 16 boxes for the offspring. For example, the cross RrDd X RrDd is shown below:RDRdrDrdRDRRDDRRDdRrDDRrDdRdRRDdRRddRrDdRrddrDRrDDRrDdrrDDrrDdrdRrDdRrddrrDdrrdd
RR x rr
A punnett square is the diagram used to determine the expected genotypic ratios for the offspring.A dihybrid cross is a cross involving two different traits. For example RrDd X RrDd would be a dihybrid cross. You could use a punnett square to determine the expected ratios for this cross:RDRdrDrdRDRRDDRRDdRrDDRrDdRdRRDdRRddRrDdRrddrDRrDDRrDdrrDDrrDdrdRrDdRrddrrDdrrddOne parent's genotype is shown across the top, the other down the side (both in bold).
50% of the offspring will be Tt; 25% will be TT; 25% will be tt. Any cross off a Dr x Dr (where D represents a dominant trait and r a recessive) will yield these same results, with 50% Dr, 25% DD, and 25% rr.

Dihybrid cross
A dihybrid cross results in 16 boxes for the offspring. For example, the cross RrDd X RrDd is shown below:RDRdrDrdRDRRDDRRDdRrDDRrDdRdRRDdRRddRrDdRrddrDRrDDRrDdrrDDrrDdrdRrDdRrddrrDdrrdd
A dihybrid cross has the possible gamete combinations of one parent across the top, and those of the other parent down the side. The possible allele combinations for the offspring are then filled into the middle of the square.For example, the punnett square for the dihybrid cross RrDd X RrDd is shown below:RDRdrDrdRDRRDDRRDdRrDDRrDdRdRRDdRRddRrDdRrddrDRrDDRrDdrrDDrrDdrdRrDdRrddrrDdrrdd
RR x rr
The cross would result In 50% pink and 50% white.
two sets of genes on nonhomologous chromosomes
monohybrid is a cross between two heterozygous (Aa x Aa), they are usually controlled by different alleles of the same gene. A monohybrid cross compares only one trait. while Dihybrid is a cross between F1 offsprings of two individuals that differ in two traits. Dihybrid croos are often used to test for dominant and recessive genes in two separate characteristics.
Monohybrid - A genetic cross made to examine the distribution of one specific set of alleles in the resulting offspringExample: tall peas x short peas or TT x ttDihybrid - Hybridization using two traits with two alleles each.Example: tall peas with round seeds x short peas with wrinkled seeds or TTRR x ttrr
Lets start with using letters to symbolize each allele of each parent: Roan Bull x White Cow --> Rr x rr (where the alleles R = red and r = white). The resulting ratio of offspring is the following: Rr = 50% rr = 50% RR = 0% Since there are too many little "r"'s and not enough big "R"'s, we can only get a cross of white and roan calves to a ratio of 1:1. Red calves do not exist in this cross.
To figure this out, use a Punnet Square.First, set up a test cross, like this:Rr x rrThis shows what you are crossing. Now you can make a Punnet Square.R rr Rr rr There is a 50/50 chance that the corn plant will have thegenotype rr.r Rr rr
"Heterozygous" means having one copy each of the dominant and the recessive allele governing a particular trait."Dihybrid" means that you are following the inheritance of two traits ("di-" = 2).For example: in the peas that Mendel studied, round seeds (allele R) are dominant over wrinkled (r). So a heterozygous plant has the genotype Rr. Yellow seeds (Y) are dominant over green (y). In experiments following these two traits (seed shape and seed color) a dihybrid heterozygous individual therefore has the genotype RrYy.A dihybrid cross involves observation of two traits, e.g.RRYY x rryywhich would yield an F1 entirely made up of RrYy individuals.
