Each P1 parent of a monohybrid cross has completely identical genes.

OpenStudy (de4thschy7he):

is this a true or false question?

OpenStudy (eclipse_gaming):

false???

OpenStudy (de4thschy7he):

idk if there are answers or if it is true or false

OpenStudy (biologicalscience):

MAYBE. It depends on what is being investigated. A typical example of a monohybrid cross is from the pea plants that Mendel worked on. In his work, he made sure that the start of the cross - the P1 generation came from a true-breeding peas. This means that if green peas was used, that it came from a family of green producing peas only across generations. He would breed this with another peas from true-breeding line of different trait from , say yellow. I will provide an example: In the example below of Monohybrid cross, we are interested in 1 gene (color) of multiple alleles which produces various traits (yellow and green). |dw:1466184839503:dw|

OpenStudy (biologicalscience):

We can also cross heterozygous genotypes of green peas with homozygous genotype of yellow peas and still call it our P1 |dw:1466185419199:dw|
