What is monohyprid?

A monohybrid refers to a genetic cross between two individuals that differ in a single trait, often highlighted in Mendelian genetics. It typically involves one pair of contrasting traits, such as flower color in pea plants (e.g., purple vs. white). The offspring of a monohybrid cross are typically analyzed to observe the inheritance patterns of that specific trait, usually following a 3:1 phenotypic ratio in the F2 generation when both parents are heterozygous.
