**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Monohybrid Cross**: In a monohybrid cross, we are examining the inheritance of a single trait, which is controlled by two alleles (one from each parent). For example, in pea plants, we can have a dominant allele (T) for tallness and a recessive allele (t) for dwarfness. 2. **F1 Generation**: When we cross two purebred plants (TT and tt), all offspring in the F1 generation will have the genotype Tt (heterozygous) and exhibit the dominant phenotype (tall). 3. **F2 Generation**: When the F1 generation (Tt) is self-crossed (Tt x Tt), we can use a Punnett square to determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the F2 generation. The expected genotypes will be: - TT (homozygous dominant) ...
