Which of the following observations did Mendel make as a result of his experiments with dihybrid crosses?

A) Dominant traits are inherited together. B) Different traits are inherited separately. C) Recessive traits are inherited unpredictably. D) Similar traits are inherited in pairs.

The correct answer is: B) Different traits are inherited separately.

Mendel's conclusions as a result of his experiments with dihybrid crosses are known as Mendel's laws.

• Mendel's law of Segregation: During the gametes formation (meiosis), alleles are separated so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene

• Mendel's law of Independent Assortment: The segregation of alleles of one gene is independent to that of any other gene

Mendel also defined the Principle of Dominance: Recessive alleles will be masked by dominant alleles when are together in heterozygous genotype.
