trihybrid

Triple heterozygous organism

Trihybrid describes an organism or genetic cross involving three different genes or traits simultaneously.

In genetics, a trihybrid cross examines inheritance patterns when parents differ at three loci: The trihybrid cross produced 64 possible genotype combinations.

The term contrasts with monohybrid (one trait) and dihybrid (two traits).
