This is one of the classic experiments carried out by Gregor Mendel.

If you cross pure-breeding green pod plants with pure-breeding yellow pod plants the offspring (F1 generation) will all have green pods. This means that green pod is dominant and yellow pod is recessive.

To explain the results, pure-breeding green pod plants must have the genotype GG (homozygous dominant) and yellow pod plants must be gg (homozygous recessive). When they are crossed the F1 offspring will receive a G allele from the green parent and a g allele from the yellow parent, so they will all have the genotype Gg ie they will be heterozygous.

How can you do a genetic cross to identify the P genotype?

The genotype of the P (parent) generation can be done by crossing an offspring from the F1 (first filial) generation with one of the gametes from the P generation and then calculating the genotypic and phenotypic ratios. Such an experiment is called a back cross


How is a genetic test cross helpful?

A genetic test cross is helpful in determining the genotype of an individual with unknown genotype by crossing it with a homozygous recessive individual. This allows the alleles to separate and be observed in the offspring, providing information on the genotype of the individual being tested.


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?

A testcross is a genetic cross between an individual with a dominant phenotype but unknown genotype and a homozygous recessive individual. This cross is used to determine the genotype of the first individual by observing the phenotypic ratios of the offspring.


What is the difference between a test cross and a back cross in genetic?

In a test cross, an individual with a dominant phenotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual to determine the genotype of the dominant individual. In a back cross, an individual is crossed with one of its parents or an individual with a similar genotype to assess genetic linkage or to maintain a specific trait in offspring.


Each cell of a punnett square represents one possible?

genotype combination that can result from a genetic cross between two individuals.


How can one determine the genotypic ratio in a genetic cross?

To determine the genotypic ratio in a genetic cross, you can use Punnett squares to predict the possible combinations of alleles from the parents. By analyzing the different genotypes that can result from the cross, you can calculate the genotypic ratio by counting the number of each genotype and expressing it as a ratio.


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 genotype AS SS AAA?

You cannot do a cross to determine the genotypes of individuals because there is only one gene here. Genotype consists of the entire genetic makeup of the individual, which cannot be determined by a single gene. Only the alleles S or s is used to express this particular gene. If you're looking for a monohybrid cross between Ss and Ss, while separately wanting a result between ss and ss, then the answers are as follows: Ss x Ss 25% SS 50% Ss 25% ss ss x ss = 100% ss


Can the genotype for a gray bodied fly be determined?

No, the genotype for a gray bodied fly cannot be determined just based on its phenotype alone. Grey body color could result from different genetic combinations, such as a homozygous dominant genotype (GG), a heterozygous genotype (Gg), or other genetic variations. Additional information or genetic testing would be needed to determine the specific genotype for the gray body color.


According to Mendel a cross between two round yellow peas both with the genotype RrYy would result in mostly peas?

Both round and yellow. This is because roundness (R) and yellowness (Y) are dominant traits and would mask the recessive traits for wrinkledness and greenness. The genotype RrYy results in a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio of round yellow, round green, wrinkled yellow, and wrinkled green peas.


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.
