Detailed explanation-1: -Monohybrid cross is responsible for the inheritance of one gene. It can be easily shown through a Punnett Square. Monohybrid cross is used by geneticists to observe how homozygous offspring express heterozygous genotypes inherited from their parents.

Detailed explanation-2: -A monohybrid cross is a process of mating between two individuals with dominant genotypes, homozygous genotypes or alleles with hereditary characteristics. The monohybrid cross results into the phenotypes which have the opposite genetic traits from each other.

Detailed explanation-3: -A monohybrid cross is one in which both parents are heterozygous (or a hybrid) for a single (mono) trait. The trait might be petal color in pea plants. When conducting crosses, the first generation is called P (or P0), the second generation is F1 (F is for filial), and the next generation is F2.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cross involving only one pair of contrasting characters is called monohybrid cross.

Detailed explanation-5: -A monohybrid cross is defined as the cross happening in the F1 generation offspring of parents differing in one trait only. A dihybrid cross is a cross happens F1 generation offspring of differing in two traits.
