monohybrid
One-gene inheritance test
Monohybrid describes a genetic cross involving only one trait or gene pair.
In a monohybrid cross, organisms differing in a single characteristic are bred to study inheritance patterns: The classic monohybrid cross of tall and short pea plants revealed dominant and recessive alleles.
As a noun, a monohybrid is an organism heterozygous for one particular gene.
