### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Definition of Monohybrid Cross**: - A monohybrid cross is a genetic cross that involves a single trait. It examines the inheritance of one characteristic, typically between two parents that differ in that trait. For example, if we consider the shape of seeds, one parent may have round seeds (dominant trait) and the other may have wrinkled seeds (recessive trait). 2. **Definition of Reciprocal Cross**: - A reciprocal cross involves two genetic crosses that are performed in reverse order. This means that the sexes of the parents are switched in the second cross. For instance, if in the first cross, the male parent has round seeds and the female has wrinkled seeds, in the reciprocal cross, the male would have wrinkled seeds and the female would have round seeds. ...
