Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct option is ‘dominant-recessive’.

Detailed explanation-2: -The trait expressing itself in the hybrid is the dominant one. This experiment proves Mendel’s first law of inheritance. It states that when a pair of contrasting factors are brought in a hybrid, one factor inhibits the appearance of the other, one which inhibits is the dominant one and which is inhibited is recessive.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mendel showed that traits are inherited independently by performing a cross between two different traits using both dominant and recessive characters on a dihybrid cross. A dihybrid cross is one in which two different traits are crossed and studied.

Detailed explanation-4: -When offspring show a blend of the parents’ traits, one allele is dominant over the other. In complete dominance, the heterozygous phenotype lies somewhere between the two homozygous phenotypes. A heterozygous individual that exhibits the traits of both parents is an example of codominance.
