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>

Hello!
The answer is 0%. I have already learned about this! :)
The heterozygous birds phenotype would therefore be black and white because both parent genes are dominant so they would be fully expressed,none would overpower the other(no dominant or recessive) this is known as Codominance and and example of this is with the blood types.
I believe this question is trying to get you to realize the difference between acquired traits(one you get through doing something during life) and heritable traits(ones from Mom/Dad). For example, I really wish I was 6 foot 4... but the height trait comes genetically from your parents since it is coded in my DNA how tall I will be, therefore this trait must be passed down genetically and somewhere down the evolutionary tree the humans in the region which my family comes from was better off being short. An example that comes from acquired traits could be muscularity... my parents are both not very muscular but throughout my lifetime I enjoy working out and have become much more muscular, no matter how much your parents or grandparents lift weights YOU won't change so that change must be acquired through aging during your lifetime. Now the amount of muscle your body can put on is a heritable thing but that is beside the point. Hope this helps :)
One of the challenges that scientists face when classifying a new fossil is that any tiny detail is all that separates one species from another. Further exploration is required to identify another set of characteristics that may help in deciding which organism belongs or create a new class.
