     If monogeny is determined exclusively by a cytoplasmic factor, then it is easy to see that the factor will either die out (if it causes arrhenogeny) or will become fixed and thereby sterilize the population (if it causes thelygeny).

2. (anthropology, historical) The doctrine that all of the members of the human race have a common origin.
