Monohybrid Cross Problem Set
Genetics is the study of heredity and variation in organisms. We begin with a study of the monohybrid cross, invented by Mendel. In a monohybrid cross, organisms differing in only one trait are crossed.

A cross involving only one trait is referred to as a monohybrid cross. Mendel crossed pure-breeding (also referred to as true-breeding) smooth-seeded plants with a variety that had always produced wrinkled seeds (60 fertilizations on 15 plants).

This is an example of a monohybrid cross, where we are studying one respect of an animals genotype. The next page continues to look at dominance and examples of monohybrid and dihybrid crossing plus related info.

A dihybrid cross is two monohybrid crosses
Remember that each of the individual traits in the dihybrid cross above behaves as a monohybrid cross, that is, they will produce a 3:1 phenotype ratio in the offspring.
