Learning Through Art: Monohybrid Cross
Understanding Monohybrid Cross
A monohybrid cross is genetic and designed to study the inheritance of a single trait or gene.
A cross is the process of fertilization and production of a new generation. mono means 'single'. Johann Gregor Mendel is the "Father of Genetics"
A hybrid is a plant that results in the cross between two plants That are both pure for different forms of the same trait.
A cross is a genetic mix between two individuals with homozygous genotypes whose results are in opposite phenotypes for a certain genetic trait.
The cross between two monohybrid traits is known as a "Monohybrid Cross."
An example of a monohybrid cross is breeding a long-stemmed pea plant. A cross between the two creates heterozygous offspring.
What is a monohybrid cross and how is it used to study genetics? A monohybrid cross is a genetic study designed to analyze the inheritance of a single trait or gene. It involves crossing two individuals with homozygous genotypes for different forms of the same trait to observe the resulting phenotypes in the offspring. This method helps researchers understand how traits are passed down from one generation to the next.
