When two dihybrid individuals are mated, this is called a dihybrid cross. Even though the parents of a dihybrid cross have the same genotype and phenotype, their offspring could show any one of 9 different genotypes and 4 different phenotypes. The phenotypic ratio of offspring produced from a dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1. To unlock this lesson you must be a Study.com Member.
Sounds are heard by the ear as either being loud or soft. The loudness of a sound in measured in decibels. Decibels refer to the energy produced by that sound. A human can hear sounds ranging from 0.1 decibels, which is very soft, to sound which measure 120 decibels. Younger people can often hear lower volumes better than older people.
Humans can generally sense sounds at frequencies between 20 and 20,000 cycles per second, or hertz (Hz)âalthough this range shrinks as a person ages. Prolonged exposure to loud noises within the audible range have long been known to cause hearing loss over time.
