| In a monohybrid cross, a monohybrid individual is either selfed or crossed with a similar monohybrid to produce progeny. |
| It must be remembered, that in attempting to fix favorable characteristics, a monohybrid cross gives rise to four possible recombinant genotypes. |
| The same principles that apply to a monohybrid cross apply to a dihybrid cross. |
| To this point the dihybrid cross is essentially identical to a sample monohybrid cross, except with two traits. |
| The Punnett square is a shorthand way of showing how the gameles behave in a monohybrid cross. |
| An extension of the monohybrid cross is the dihybrid cross in which two traits are of interest. |
