Solution

A cross when only one pair of alleles is used for hybridization, is called monohybrid cross.

Explanation:

In a monohybrid cross, the hybridization involves a single pair of contrasting alleles for a particular trait. This type of cross is used to study the inheritance pattern of one specific characteristic at a time, exemplified by Mendel’s experiments with pea plants where he crossed plants differing in one trait to observe how it segregates in the offspring.
