In dihybrid crossing of plants, mendel experimented on two pairs of contrasting characters that are shape of seed and color of seed. Gregor mendel was an austrian monk who uncovered the three fundamental laws of inheritance with peaplant experiments. The two alleles for each character separate during gamete formation.

Like many of his contemporaries, mendel was intrigued with heredity and wanted to uncover the laws behind it. I did not make this video and do not get any credit in making it.
