Mendel's dihybrid crosses, but not his monohybrid crosses, showed that ____.

A) some genes were linked together
B) the two alleles controlling a trait were divided equally among the gametes
C) gene pairs are sorted into gametes independently of other gene pairs
D) one of the pair of alleles is dominant to the other
E) some genes exhibit codominance

Dihybrid Crosses

Genetic crosses that track the inheritance of two different traits, demonstrating independent assortment of genes.

Monohybrid Crosses

Genetic crosses involving one trait, used to study the inheritance of single-gene differences from one generation to the next.

Independently

Acting or done without being influenced or controlled by others.
