Question
A mating between a purebred purple-flowered pea plant and a purebred white-flowered pea plant would be called a ________.test crossmonohybrid crossdihybrid crosspedigree analysis
Solution
This would be called a monohybrid cross. This is because a monohybrid cross is a mating between two individuals with different alleles at one genetic locus of interest. In this case, the locus of interest is the gene controlling flower color, and the two different alleles are purple and white.
