Solution

The correct option is C
Monohybrid cross

A single genetic locus (position) translates into only one character. When a cross is made between two individuals with reference to a single character, it is called a monohybrid cross. The character being studied in a monohybrid cross could be governed by two or more alleles for a single locus.
