Mono-hybrid cross explanation
Johann Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk. He made a number of investigations with pea plants. In the garden, he found several unique features in pea plants such as Tall and Dwarf plants, Green and Yellow cotyledons, Round and Wrinkled seeds, etc. These characters occurred repeatedly creation after creation since pea plants are self-pollinated. In other words, these features were mating true. Mendel chose Garden pea as his investigational organism as it is an annual plant with well-defined characteristics and is grown and mixed easily. Mendel was fortunate in his choice of a diploid organism through many creations of natural self-generation. Gardens peas had evolved into pure lines. A single alternation in a trait was therefore indicated by a visible difference between varieties furthermore in the seven pairs of distinguishing traits.
Mendel chose to study one form that was dominant over a well-defined distinct alternative. Mendel created a hybrid by crossing two plants with opposing traits. He mixed a tall species with a Dwarf variant to get this hybrid. He got the cross seed and cultivated it separately. only tall plants came from all of the seeds when these individuals were self-pollinated. The further creation formed tall and dwarf plants in a 3:1 ratio and he achieved a similar outcome in the second creation with other contrasting features in a 3:1 ratio. Each parent had two factors in charge of every feature. They produced so the tall parent had TT and the dwarf parent had tt. There was only one factor in the gametes. The tall parent’s gamete had one T while the dwarf gamete had one t. The zygote possessed one component from each parent i.e T and t. when the gametes merged in fertilization, The first filial generation often known as the F1- generation was generated by crossing despite having one factor for tallness and one factor for dwarfness. All of the F1- generation individuals grew to be tall. In the next mixture between the F1- generation, 50% of the gametes generated by the parent had the tall factor T and 50% had the dwarf factor t. When fertilization took place among the gametes 3 types of combinations were formed i.e. as TT, Tt, and tt that is in the second filial generation 25% of the plants had both tall factors, 50% of the plants had the mixtures of both factors and 25% of the plants had both dwarf factors. In the outward appearance the tall plants formed 75% and dwarf plants 25% this is called the phenotypic ratio 3:1 though genetically there were 3 types namely homozygous tall 25%, heterozygous tall 50%, and homozygous dwarf 25%. this ratio 1:2:1 is called a genotypic ratio. As only one trait was taken into account it is referred to as the monohybrid ratio
