A man who is an achondroplastic dwarf with normal vision marries a color-blind woman of normal height. The man's father was 6 feet tall, and both the woman's parents were of average height. Achondroplastic dwarfism is autosomal dominant, and red-green color blindness is X-linked recessive.
-What do we mean when we use the term monohybrid cross?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A monohybrid cross involves organisms that are heterozygous for one character. In this case, the character being studied is the gene for achondroplastic dwarfism, which is autosomal dominant. The man is heterozygous for this gene, as he has one normal and one dwarfism-causing allele. The woman is homozygous for the normal allele. Therefore, in a monohybrid cross, the offspring will inherit one allele from each parent and can be either heterozygous for achondroplasia or homozygous for the normal allele.
