Monohybrid - A genetic cross made to examine the distribution of one specific set of alleles in the resulting offspring
Example: tall peas x short peas or TT x tt

Dihybrid - Hybridization using two traits with two alleles each.
Example: tall peas with round seeds x short peas with wrinkled seeds or TTRR x ttrr

What is a cross called that involves one trait?

It is a dihybrid cross.An example: if you cross garden peas having round yellow seeds with others having wrinkled green seeds, that is a dihybrid cross, because you are tracking both seed shape and seed color.


What is the difference between a monohybrid and dihybird cross?

A monohybrid cross involves the study of one trait or gene, whereas a dihybrid cross involves the study of two traits or genes simultaneously. In a monohybrid cross, only one pair of alleles is considered, while in a dihybrid cross, two pairs of alleles are considered.


How does a monohybrid differ from a dihybrid with respect to allele pairs?

monohybrid is a cross between two heterozygous (Aa x Aa), they are usually controlled by different alleles of the same gene. A monohybrid cross compares only one trait. while Dihybrid is a cross between F1 offsprings of two individuals that differ in two traits. Dihybrid croos are often used to test for dominant and recessive genes in two separate characteristics.


A cross between plants that involves one characteristic?

A monohybrid cross involves crossing two plants that differ in one genetic trait, such as flower color. This allows for the study of how that specific trait is inherited according to Mendel's laws of genetics.


A cross that considers one pair of contrasting traits?

A monohybrid cross considers one pair of contrasting traits (or alleles) in an offspring resulting from the mating of individuals that differ in only one trait. This type of genetic cross allows predictions about the inheritance pattern of a specific trait based on the known genotypes of the parents.

What are monohybrid and dihybrid crooses?

Monohybrid cross involves studying one trait (e.g. flower color), whereas dihybrid cross involves studying two traits (e.g. flower color and plant height). In monohybrid crosses, one gene with two alleles is examined, while in dihybrid crosses, two genes with two alleles each are examined.


What is the difference between monohybrid and dihybrid crosses?

In monohybrid crosses, only one trait is considered, while in dihybrid crosses, two traits are considered simultaneously. Monohybrid crosses involve only one genetic locus, while dihybrid crosses involve two different genetic loci. The Punnett square for a monohybrid cross is a 2x2 grid, while for a dihybrid cross it is a 4x4 grid.

What term describes the parents in monohybrid cross?

The term is: heterozygous parents A monohybrid cross involves a single parent, whereas a dihybrid cross. The law of segregation requires having two or more generations to describe.

This type of genetic cross allows predictions about the inheritance pattern of a specific trait based on the known genotypes of the parents.


What term describes the parents in a mono-hybrid cross?

The term is: heterozygous parents A monohybrid cross involves a single parent, whereas a dihybrid cross. The law of segregation requires having two or more generations to describe.


Is a Monohybrid Cross the same as a punnet square if not what's the difference?

A punnett square is the diagram used to determine the expected genotypic ratios for the offspring.A dihybrid cross is a cross involving two different traits. For example RrDd X RrDd would be a dihybrid cross. You could use a punnett square to determine the expected ratios for this cross:RDRdrDrdRDRRDDRRDdRrDDRrDdRdRRDdRRddRrDdRrddrDRrDDRrDdrrDDrrDdrdRrDdRrddrrDdrrddOne parent's genotype is shown across the top, the other down the side (both in bold).


How many traits are examined in a monohybrid cross?

A monohybrid cross examines the inheritance of one specific trait, typically focusing on a single gene with two different alleles. This allows for the study of how these alleles are passed from parent to offspring.


What is the expected genotypic ratios for di-hybrid cross and mono-hybrid cross?

In a dihybrid cross, the expected genotypic ratio is 1:2:1 for homozygous dominant: heterozygous: homozygous recessive genotypes, respectively. In a monohybrid cross, the expected genotypic ratio is 1:2:1 for homozygous dominant: heterozygous: homozygous recessive genotypes, respectively.
