Best Answer

Perform a test cross of two homozygous individuals base on a hypothesis, I usually just guess to begin with.

Hypothesis:

Example: Purple x White

all Purple

Then cross the F1 generation (those guys above)

Purple x Purple

you get the fallowing ratios if the purple allel is dominant

3/4 Purple 1/4 white

Usually you are given a number of offspring for problems like this so lets

Example: purple x white

F1 all purple would mean purple is dominant, you can take it further too.

F2 100 offspring= 25 white and 75 purple

Note: In real life numbers wont be nice and even like this so you may have to do some chi squared analysis to check your hypotheses.

A trait is autosomal if it appears in both males and females in equal numbers. It is sex-linked when it occurs only in a specific gender.

An autosomal trait is irrespective of gender and so should appear in offspring of either sex.
