Answer:

Simply saying it is cross that involves two traits

Step-by-step explanation:

In dihybrid cross the phenotypes of two genes are followed through the mating of individuals which carry multiple alleles at those gene loci. In other words, two genes controlling two different phenotypic traits are observed in dihybrid cross.

"Dihybrid cross",means

"di" indicates that there are two traits involved for example A and B and

"hybrid" indicates that each trait has two different allele, for example A and a or B and b.
