Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Monohybrid cross is a cross between two organisms of a species which is made to study the inheritance of a single pair of alleles or factors of a character. Dominant character is one of a pair of alleles which can express itself whether present in homozygous or heterozygous state. In $ F_1 $ generation, (the generation of hybrids produced from a cross between the genetically different homozygous individuals called parents) the progenies are heterozygous.
