Solution

Monohybrid cross:
A cross between two homozygous patterns (e.g. TT and tt) in which the inheritance pattern of only one pair of contrasting characters is called a monohybrid cross.
Monohybrid cross causes the inheritance of one gene. Therefore, the inheritance of a single trait is examined in a monohybrid cross.
