In Mendel's dihybrid cross, by taking the characters seed shape and seed colour in pea plant, the phenotypic ratio in F2 generation 9 : 3 : 3 : 1 is obtained. This is because 
 
1. Genes for both the characters are located on the same chromosomes and follow the law of dominance 
2. Alleles of seed shape and seed colour are present on the same locus of a pair of homologous chromosomes
3. Genes for both the characters are present on different chromosomes and follow law of dominance 
4. Genes for seed shape and seed colour are present on the different loci of the same chromosome and follow the law of codominance
