The correct Answer is:
To solve the question about a cross involving two pairs of alleles, we will analyze the definitions and characteristics of the different types of genetic crosses mentioned in the options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Terms**: - **Monohybrid Cross**: This involves a cross between two organisms that differ in only one trait. For example, crossing a tall plant with a short plant to study the inheritance of height. - **Dihybrid Cross**: This involves a cross between two organisms that differ in two traits. For example, crossing a plant with red flowers and tall height with a plant with white flowers and dwarf height. This cross studies the inheritance of both flower color and plant height. - **Crossing Over**: This is a process that occurs during meiosis where segments of chromatids are exchanged between non-sister chromatids. It is not a type of genetic cross. 2. **Identifying the Correct Cross**: - The question specifies a cross involving **two pairs of alleles**. This indicates that two traits are being studied simultaneously. - Since we are looking at two traits, the appropriate type of cross is a **dihybrid cross**. 3. **Eliminating Incorrect Options**: - **Crossing Over**: This is not a type of genetic cross but rather a genetic process, so it is incorrect. - **Monohybrid Cross**: This only involves one trait, which does not fit the requirement of the question. - **Genetics**: This is a broad field of study and not a specific type of cross. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct answer to the question about a cross involving two pairs of alleles is a **dihybrid cross**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Dihybrid Cross**. ---
