To review:

The monohybrid cross takes into consideration only one trait. Mendel performed monohybrid cross out of the seven traits of Pisum sativum. The cross performed on the pea plant by Mendel were in support of purity of gametes. The result of phenotypes resembled either of parents only. No new phenotype was observed.
