Question

what was mendels key question in the dihybrid cross experiments?
how many traits can be examined at one time?
are traits inherited independently or together?
can traits be changed through selective breeding?

Explanation:

Mendel's dihybrid cross experiments were focused on understanding the inheritance of multiple traits. The key question was whether different traits are inherited independently (each trait's alleles assort independently during gamete formation) or if they are inherited together. This led to the formulation of the law of independent assortment.

Answer:

Are traits inherited independently or together?
