  1. C. 9 Black short hair; 3 Black long hair; 3 Brown short hair and 1 Brown long hair

    Explanation- Let D and d represent dominant and recessive alleles of a trait respectively. Dihybrid cross produces following ratio in F-2 generation (provided both traits follow Mendelian pattern of inheritance)

    D1D2 : D1d2 : d1D2 : d1d2 = 9 : 3 : 3 : 1

    (Numbers in front of the letters indicate first and second trait under consideration).
