Calculate the percentage of recombinants in the F2 generation in a typical Mendelian dihybrid cross.

a
62.5%
b
37.5%
c
56.25%
d
6.25%

detailed solution

Correct option is B

The phenotypic ratio in a typical Mendelian dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1 where 3:3 is the ratio of the recombinants. Therefore, the percentage of recombinant is 3+39+3+3+1=616=37.5% .
