In a flowering plant species, there are only two characters for which contrasting traits are present in the population and these genes are on different chromosomes. If we randomly select a seed from a heap of seeds produced by dihybrid individuals of this population, What would be the probability that the plant produced by this seed would have one dominant and one recessive trait?
1. \(\frac{9}{16 }\)
2. \(\frac{3}{8 }\)
3. \(\frac{1}{2 }\)
4. \(\frac{1}{4 }\)
