Explanation:

 a) 1. If you were cross-breeding two plants whose only difference was their scent, you would be performing a monohybrid cross.​

The plants are physically identical, apart from alleles of one gene;thusthe cross is a monohybrid.

DNA sets contain genes that may have different forms called alleles. DNA, which is the genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are connected together by rRNA to form proteins which constitute the phenotype of an organism. DNA sequence mutations form new alleles, impacting the resulting mRNA, and thus the encoding protein. Within species, there may be adaptation, along with genetic drift, competitive breeding, and natural selection.

Answer:

Monohybrid cross

Explanation:

Background:

Genes are defined as the units of heredity. Genes contain two or more alternative forms known as alleles. In terms of location, these alleles occupy a locus (place where the gene lies on chromosome) on each of the two homologous chromosomes.

Monohybrid Cross:

  • In heredity, a monohybrid cross is a cross between two individuals or generations that are homozygous for one gene or trait.
  • A homozygous individual contains the same allele on both  of the homologous chromosomes. This means that the individual inherited the same allele from both of the parents.
  • This type of cross produces a heterozygous individual i.e. a hybrid in terms of only one gene or trait.
  • For example, imagine there are two plants that are homozygous in one trait only such as flower colour. Lets assume one of them to be red AA and the other white aa.
  • When these two are crossed i.e. AA X aa, they will produce a heterozygous genotype i.e. Aa.
  • According to Mendel's Law of Dominance, this heterozygous individual will be red as the red trait (A) is dominant.
  • Therefore, in terms of genetics, these plants have been compared on the basis of one trait only i.e. flower colour.
