Answer

A monohybrid cross is when planting F1 seeds results in self-pollinating to produce the F2 generation. Each of the homologous chromosomes replicate prior to meiosis I. At the end of meiosis I, the two chromosomes separate themselves into separate daughter cells. At the end of meiosis II, each haploid gamete will contain a member of each pair of homologous chromosomes, and thus one allele for each gene.
