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.
If a test cross between a homozygous recessive and heterozygous allele will yield what percent of offspring as homozygous recessive?
25%
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 .
To perform a testcross scientists cross an organism with an unknown genotype with what kind of organism?
homozygous recessive
What is the height of the f1 plant if the tall plant AABBCC is crossed with a base height plant aabbcc?
In such a cross, the F1 plants will always be tall, because that is the dominant allele. In the cross described, a homozygous dominant plant was crossed with a homozygous recessive plant; a cross that produces 100% heterozygous offspring. (AaBbCc)

Which genotype is used in a test cross?
A homozygous recessive as male parent
If a test cross between a homozygous recessive and heterozygous allele will yield what percent of offspring as homozygous recessive?
25%
To determine if a particular plant is homozygous or heterozygous you would have to test cross with a?
Homozygous recessive plant
What is the probability of a homozygous recessive offspring?
It depends. If it's a heterozygous cross, (Tt x Tt), there's a 25% chance. If it's a homozygous dominant cross (TT x TT), the chance is 0%. Neither parent has the alleles for a recessive trait, so none of their offspring can have the recessive trait. If it's a homozygous recessive cross (tt x tt), there's a 100% chance. The only alleles the parents can pass on are recessive.

Is it possible to determine the genotype of a plant with a dominant phenotype the trait?
NO, because a dominant phenotype could either be homozygous or a heterozygous.so unless you are sure about the genotype of parents we can't determine it...but we can determine the genotype of a person showing reccessive phenotype, as a recessive trait always expresses itself in a homozygous condition..Read more: Is_it_possible_to_determine_the_genotype_of_a_person_showing_a_dominant_phenotype

What is the expected genotypic ratio for a one factor cross of two hybrid organisms?
1 homozygous dominant: 2 heterozygous: 1 homozygous recessive
What is the name of the cross that involves the mating of an unknown dominant phenotype plant with a homozygous recessive plant for the same trait?
Test Cross
What cross shows homozygous dominant mating with heterozygous?
AA (dominant) mating with aa (recessive) -----> Aa
