Explain why the homozygous recessive would always be used in a test cross?
The homozygous recessive individual is used in a test cross to determine the genotype of an individual with a dominant phenotype but unknown genotype. When crossed with a homozygous recessive individual, if any offspring display the recessive trait, it indicates that the unknown individual is heterozygous for that trait.
To determine the genotype of an individual that shows the dominant phenotype you would cross that individual with one that is?
To determine the genotype of an individual that shows the dominant phenotype you would cross that individual with one that is homozygous recessive. A monohybrid cross of two individuals that are heterozygous for a trait exhibiting complete dominance would probably result in a phenotype ratio is 3 dominant 1 recessive.
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
All individuals that show a recessive trait are?
recessive trait only appear when an individual is homozygous recessive, both alleles must code for the recessive trait
If a test cross between a homozygous recessive and heterozygous allele will yield what percent of offspring as homozygous recessive?
A test cross between a homozygous recessive and a heterozygous individual will yield 50% of offspring as homozygous recessive. This is because all the offspring will inherit one recessive allele from the homozygous recessive parent.

Explain why the homozygous recessive would always be used in a test cross?

When crossed with a homozygous recessive individual, if any offspring display the recessive trait, it indicates that the unknown individual is heterozygous for that trait.
To determine the genotype of an individual that shows the dominant phenotype you would cross the individual with one that is?
Homozygous recessive.
To determine the genotype of an individual that shows the dominant phenotype you would cross that individual with one that is?
To determine the genotype of an individual that shows the dominant phenotype you would cross that individual with one that is homozygous recessive. A monohybrid cross of two individuals that are heterozygous for a trait exhibiting complete dominance would probably result in a phenotype ratio is 3 dominant 1 recessive.
To determine if a particular plant is homozygous or heterozygous you would have to test cross with a?
To determine if a particular plant is homozygous or heterozygous, you would need to perform a test cross with a homozygous recessive individual. If the offspring display the recessive trait, the original plant would likely be heterozygous. If all offspring exhibit the dominant trait, the original plant would likely be homozygous dominant.
What is the percentage of offspring that will exhibit the dominant trait from A crossing of A homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive individual?
The homozygous dominant individual can only pass on the dominant allele and the homozygous recessive individual can only pass on the recessive allele, therefore all offspring will be heterozygous and have the dominant phenotype.
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 the difference between a homozygous dominant homozygous recessive and heterozygous individual?
They are the same
All individuals that show a recessive trait are?
recessive trait only appear when an individual is homozygous recessive, both alleles must code for the recessive trait
If a test cross between a homozygous recessive and heterozygous allele will yield what percent of offspring as homozygous recessive?
A test cross between a homozygous recessive and a heterozygous individual will yield 50% of offspring as homozygous recessive. This is because all the offspring will inherit one recessive allele from the homozygous recessive parent.
A test cross involves?
Involves the breeding of a dominant trait individual with a recessive individual. This is done to determine the zygosity of the former by analyzing proportions of offspring with the recessive phenotype.
In crossing a homozygous recessive with a heterozygote what is the chance of getting a homozygous recessive phenotype in the F1 generation?
1/2 or 50%. The homozygous recessive gentoype contains two recessive alleles for the gene for a trait. So the homozygous recessive individual can pass on only recessive alleles to an offspring. The heterozygous individual has one dominant and one recessive allele for the gene for a trait. So the heterozygous individual can pass on either a dominant or a recessive allele to an offspring. So if an offspring inherits a recessive allele from the heterozygous parent, along with the recessive allele from the homozygous recessive parent, it will have the homozygous recessive genotype and phenotype.
