The word "monogony" refers to the process of reproduction in which an organism produces only a single offspring. The IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) transcription of this word is /mɒˈnɒɡəni/. The spelling of this word can be broken down into three syllables: "mo," "no," and "gy." The "o" sound is pronounced twice in the word, while the "g" is followed by a "y," making it a "soft" consonant. Despite its irregular spelling, "monogony" is a commonly used term in the study of biology and genetics.
