All the cells in a person's body have the same DNA and the same genes. However, the difference between cells in different tissues and organs is that the "expression" of the genes differs between cells. Expression means that the message from the DNA is being copied and made into protein.
A cross between individuals that are heter0zyg0us for two different traits is a dihybrid cross. <em>A cross between two individuals that are heterozygous for eye and skin color would be an example of a _</em>dihybrid<em>_ cross.</em>
----------------------
Dihybrid crosses involve individuals that expresses two different traits and are heter0zyg0us for each of them.
So let us imagine we are studing the characters eye color and skin color. Let us assume that both of them are coded by single diallelic genes.
For eye color there is
- Dominant allele B that codes for brown eyes
- Recessive allele b that codes for blue eyes
For skin color there is
- Dominant allele A that codes for black skin
- Recessive allele a that codes for white skin
So, an individual that is heter0zyg0us for both of them, is BbAa.
If this person crosses to another person with the same genotype, we are talking about a <u>dihybrid cross</u>, because two dibybrid individuals are involved.
Cross: BbAa x BbAa
According to this information, we can aswer the question:
<em>When crossing two individuals that are heterozygous for eye and skin color we are referring to a</em><em> dihybrid cross.</em>

Answer:
Claws. These strong, curved claws can tear flesh and inflict fearsome wounds. Water Monitors eat only meat and sometimes tackle prey nearly their own size. Claws may allow the Arboreal taxa to physically separate themselves from the larger monitors of the savannah by living in trees, eliminating them as competition and potential predators.
