Question

Name the cross between two parents having one pair of contrasting characters.

Answer 1

Monohybrid cross

1. A genetic cross between two individuals, having one pair of contrasting characters, with homozygous genotypes having completely dominant or completely recessive alleles results in opposite phenotypes for a certain genetic trait.
2. Such a type of cross is called a monohybrid cross.
3. They are generally used to observe how the offspring of homozygous individuals express the heterozygous genotypes they inherit from their parents.

Therefore, the cross between two parents having one pair of contrasting characters is called a monohybrid cross.
