A) monohybrid cross.
B) dihybrid cross.
C) polytropic cross.
D) true breeding cross.
E) chromosomal cross.
Vestigial Wings
Remnant wings in some organisms that have lost their primary function through evolution.
Dihybrid Cross
A breeding experiment between P generation (parental generation) organisms differing in two traits, used to determine the inheritance patterns of genes.
- Evaluate the findings from a range of genetic crosses, notably monohybrid and dihybrid crosses.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A dihybrid cross involves two traits, in this case, wing type and body color. The cross between a heterozygous individual (VvBb) and a homozygous recessive individual (vvbb) for two traits fits the definition of a dihybrid cross.
