Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If two gametes contain different alleles of a given gene, the resulting offspring will be heterozygous for that gene, meaning they have two different alleles (versions) of the gene. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Dihybrid refers to the inheritance of two different traits, haploid refers to a cell with a single set of chromosomes, and polygenic refers to traits that are controlled by multiple genes.
