Monohybrid cross. A monohybrid cross is a mating between two individuals with different alleles at one genetic locus of interest.[1][2] The character(s) being studied in a monohybrid cross are governed by two or multiple alleles for a single locus.
Robert Fulton (November 14, 1765 â February 24, 1815) was an American engineer and inventor who is widely credited with developing a commercially successful steamboat called Clermont. That steamboat went with passengers from New York City to Albany and back again, a round trip of 300 miles, in 62 hours in 1807.
Fulton, himself having a good bit of money and also having rich friends like Livingston, gets the credit but what he really did was make steamboat travel profitable. Even Fulton didn't get it right the first time. The first voyage of the Clermont, in 1807, failed. After a good bit of tinkering, Fulton got the boat up and running, and the little steam-powered floater made it from new York to Albany in 32 hours (at a speed of five miles an hour).
