Monohybrid inheritance concerns the inheritance of a characteristic controlled by a single gene, and Punnett squares are used to illustrate this, employing capital letters for dominant alleles and lowercase for recessive alleles.
Monohybrid inheritance studies one gene's control over a characteristic, often shown using Punnett squares with capital letters for dominant and lowercase for recessive alleles.
