Homozygous recessive; if 'r' stands for color of the seed and 's' for normal starch, then the genotype of this plant used in a test cross will be ( rrss ).

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.

this procedure is generally called a test cross and is used in the agricultural and pet industries lots.


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 name for a cross between an individual of unknown genotype and a homozygous recessive?

A cross between a homozygous recessive and an individual of unknown genotype is called a test cross.The homozygous recessive can only pass on a recessive allele to the offspring, and so any recessive in the other parent will show up in the phenotype (detectable characteristics) of some of the offspring.


How can a test cross reveal the genotype of a parent whose phenotype is dominant?

Try using a Punnett Square.


To perform a testcross scientists cross an organism with an unknown genotype with a organism.?

If an individual is of the dominant phenotype, its genotype can be either AA or Aa (letter A picked for demonstration's sake). To do a good test cross, we have to be able to unambiguously tell which one of the genotypes the individual is. The best test cross would be conducted with a homozygous recessive (aa) individual. This way, if the cross generates 100% dominant phenotype, then the original individual was homozygous dominant. If the cross generates 50% dominant and 50% recessive phenotype, then the original individual was heterozygous.

When would a pedigree be better to use to deterimine the genotype of an individual instead of a testcross?

n genetics, a test cross, first introduced by Gregor Mendel, is used to determine if an individual exhibiting a dominant trait is homozygous or heterozygous for that trait. More simply put, test crosses determine the genotype of an individual with a dominant phenotype.
