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.
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.
The diagram is called a Punnett square. It is a tool used by geneticists to predict the possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring resulting from a test cross between individuals with known genotypes.
The scientist should perform a test cross between the organism and a homozygous recessive organism. If all offspring show the dominant trait, the original organism is homozygous dominant. If some offspring show the recessive trait, the original organism is heterozygous.
The recessive trait phenotype disappears in a one-trait test cross in the F1 generation. This phenotype can reappear in the F2 generation.
use a test cross when you want to find out what genotype a particular organism has
yes because if you use the vertical line test it will not cross it more than once.
Test Cross.
Because the genotype of a purebred for some traits are known since the genepool for these types of organisms can be so small. usually though people use homozygotes to test cross, and not purebred organisms.
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.
If they're testing for tobacco use, then yes you'll fail a drug test by smoking. Normally they don't test for it--tobacco's legal--and cotinine doesn't cross-react with other drug tests.
With a monohybrid cross.
to determine the unknown genotype.
yes It can be used as a test on misspecification

This is one test you do not want to cheat. You need to know the answers just in case you have to use CPR one day to save a life. The instructor will go over the information and you will not have any questions on the test that was not reviewed.
