What is a monohybrid cross?
Asked by Sarvadaman Bhardwaj · 2 years ago
Can someone explain what a monohybrid cross is in simple terms?
1 Answer
A monohybrid cross is a breeding experiment between two organisms that are identically hybrid for one trait. For example, when Mendel crossed two pea plants that differed in just one characteristic, such as plant height (tall vs. short), he was performing a monohybrid cross. In this cross, we only consider one trait and observe how it is inherited across generations.
