The mating of an individual of unknown genotype with one that is homozygous recessive in order to determine the unknown genotype is a?
Test Cross.
What is a testcross in biology?
a cross between an organism whose genotype for a certain trait is unknown and an organism that is homozygous recessive for that trait so the unknown genotype can be determined from that of the offspring
What is a testcross?
Gregor Mendel devised the fundamental tool of the test cross. It is an experimental cross of an individual organism of dominant phenotype but unknown genotype and an organism with a homozygous recessive genotype .
What is the procedure in witch an individual of unknown genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual to determine the genotype of the unknown individual is called?
this procedure is generally called a test cross and is used in the agricultural and pet industries lots.
To perform a testcross scientists cross an organism with an unknown genotype with what kind of organism?
homozygous recessive
What is an unknown genotype?
normal
The mating of an individual of unknown genotype with one that is homozygous recessive in order to determine the unknown genotype is a?
Test Cross.
When trying to find an unknown genotype you must perform a?
Perform a test cross. Cross the organism with an organism with a homozygous recessive genotype and use the phenotypes of the offspring and a Punnett square to figure out the unknown genotype.
In a testcross an organism with a dominant phenotype but unknown genotype is crossed with what to establish its genotype?
homozygous recessive
What is the important of test cross?
to determine the unknown genotype.

How can the unknown genotype of an individual with a dominate phenotype be determined?
A test cross.

How could the botanist best determine whether the genotype of the green-pod plant is homozygous or heterozygous?
A cross between a plant of unknown genotype and one that is known to be homozygous recessive is called a test cross because the recessive homozygote testswhether there are any recessive alleles in the unknown. Because the recessive homozygote will contribute an allele for the recessive characteristic to each offspring, the second allele (from the unknown genotype) will determine the offspring's phenotype.
How do geneticists normally tell whether an organism exhibiting a dominant phenotype is homozygous or heterozygous?
They perform a test cross. A test cross takes the unknown genotype and crosses it with a known homozygous recessive. If the F1 generation is all dominant, then they know the organism was a homozygous recessive. If recessive offspring appear, then the organism was a heterozygote. As an example, consider a gene with two alleles, A and a, with Adominant. Now consider the test cross. The unknown genotype can only be one of two possibilities: AA (homozgous dominant) Aa (heterozygous) In a test cross,the unknown genotype is crossed with a known homozygous recessive. Since there are only two possible unknown genotypes, there can be only two possible results. First, consider the case of the unknown genotype being a homozygous dominant. The cross looks like this: AA X aa Remember that a homozygote for an allele can only produce one kind of gamete. In this case the homozygous dominant can only produce gametes with the allele A in them, while the homozygous recessive can only produce gametes with the recessive allele a in them. This means the F1 offspring can only be ONE genotype; Aa. Therefore, all of the offspring would have the dominant phenotype. Now consider the other possible cross, where the unknown genotype is heterozygous: AaX aa Remember that a heterozygote can produce two types of gametes. In this case, the unknown would produce gametes with the dominant allele A or the recessive allele a. The homozygous recessive would still only produce one kind gamete, with the recessive a allele. Therefore, we expect to see only two genotypes in the F1, Aa and aa, in equal proportions. In either case, only one test cross is needed to tell one immediately the nature of the unknown genotype. If all of the F1 are of the dominant phenotype, then the unknown genotype must be homozygous dominant; if a mixture of phenotypes appears in equal proportion, then the unknown genotype must be a heterozygote.
