A) A monohybrid cross involves a single parent, whereas a dihybrid cross involves two parents.
B) A dihybrid cross involves organisms that are heterozygous for two characters that are being studied, and a monohybrid cross involves organisms that are heterozygous for only one character being studied.
C) A monohybrid cross is performed for one generation, whereas a dihybrid cross is performed for two generations.
