Detailed Solution

  • The phenomenon of transfer of genetic characters from parents to progeny is known as inheritance. 
  • Mendel was a scientist who studied the genetic patterns in pea plants and gave three laws describing patterns of inheritance. 
  • A dihybrid cross is a cross between two organisms in which two physical characters are being studied. 
  • In case of a dihybrid cross which includes homozygous dominant and recessive parents, the first generation will be heterozygous dominant. 
  • When this heterozygous generation is crossed with itself it gives the genotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1. 
  • In this cross the resulting second generation will have four instances in which the alleles are present in an heterozygous form. 
  • It means that one allele will be present in dominant form and the other will be present in recessive form.

Hence, the correct option is D.
