Morgan's dihybrid cross results differed highly from the results of that of Mendel’s dihybrid cross results because of linkage.
Explanation:
- Thomas Morgan was known as the father of Drosophila genetics.
- Gregor Johann Mendel is known as the father of genetics.
- Mendel chose those characters of pea plants which were luckily placed on different chromosomes which didn't show any linkage.
- But the characters that Morgan chose were placed on same chromosomes of Drosophila which resulted in linkage of those genes differing in independent assortment.
- Thus, the linkage resulted in differing in the dihybrid ratio.
