Solution:

A dihybrid cross involves two pairs of contrasting characters, eg, yellow round seeded plant and wrinkled green seeded plant (both pure lines) homozygous. When a dihybrid cross is made between two pure line of homozygous parents, then the , generation shows hybrids with dominant phenotypic effect. When heterozygous plants are self-fertilized to produce generation, types of combinations are obtained of which two are similar to parental combination and other two are new combinations. The phenotypic dihybrid ratio of these combinations in generation comes out to be , while the genotypic dihybrid ratio is .
