Manus (anatomy) The manus (Latin for hand) is the zoological term for the distal portion of the fore limb of an animal. In tetrapods, it is the part of the pentadactyl limb that includes the metacarpals and digits (phalanges). During evolution, it has taken many forms and served a variety of functions.
A cross between parents that differ in one trait is called monohybrid cross.
the crossing of organisms differing in heredityâthat is, in one or more pairs of alleles (conditions of genes) and consequently in one or more pairs of traits and properties. The crossing of individuals belonging to different species or even to less closely related taxonomic categories is called distant hybridization.
