Abstract: Let (G) be a finite solvable group, and let (Delta(G)) denote the emph{prime graph} built on the set of degrees of the irreducible complex characters of (G). A fundamental result by P.P. P'alfy asserts that the complement $$ of the graph (Delta(G)) does not contain any cycle of length (3). In this paper we generalize P'alfy's result, showing that $$ does not contain any cycle of odd length, whence it is a bipartite graph. As an immediate consequence, the set of vertices of (Delta(G)) can be covered by two subsets, each inducing a complete subgraph. The latter property yields in turn that if (n) is the clique number of (Delta(G)), then (Delta(G)) has at most (2n) vertices. This confirms a conjecture by Z. Akhlaghi and H.P. Tong-Viet, and provides some evidence for the famous emph{( ho)-(sigma) conjecture} by B. Huppert.
