In an autosomal recessive cross, both genders are equally affected because the genes involved are located on autosomes, which are not sex chromosomes. Therefore, both males and females have an equal chance of inheriting the recessive alleles from their parents. The expression of the trait depends solely on the genotype rather than the sex of the individual.
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.
Some common genetic inheritance patterns include autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked dominant, and X-linked recessive. These patterns describe how traits are passed down from parents to offspring.
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.
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.
In a cross between a homozygous recessive parent (AA) and a heterozygous parent (Aa), the possible genotypes of the offspring are 50% homozygous recessive (AA) and 50% heterozygous (Aa). Therefore, the probability that an offspring will be homozygous recessive is 50%.
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.

Recessive allele exhibits its trait only when paired with another recessive allele in a genetic cross.
If the cat is suspected to be heterozygous for a recessive trait, the presumed genotype would be Aa, where A represents the dominant allele and a represents the recessive allele. This means the cat has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for the trait in question. The test cross would involve crossing this cat with a homozygous recessive individual to determine the genotype of the cat.
If the traits are both recessive and independently assorting, then 1/16 of the offspring will be recessive for both traits in a dihybrid cross (1/4 for each individual trait, multiplied together).
a car is least likely to be affected by cross winds
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.
