If all the offspring of a testcross are alike and resemble the organism being tested then is the parent homozygous?
If all the offspring of a testcross are alike and resemble the organism being tested then the parent is homozygous.
To perform a testcross scientists cross an organism with an unknown genotype with what kind of organism?
homozygous recessive
To perform a testcross scientists cross an organism with an unknown genotype with a organism.?
If an individual is of the dominant phenotype, its genotype can be either AA or Aa (letter A picked for demonstration's sake). To do a good test cross, we have to be able to unambiguously tell which one of the genotypes the individual is. The best test cross would be conducted with a homozygous recessive (aa) individual. This way, if the cross generates 100% dominant phenotype, then the original individual was homozygous dominant. If the cross generates 50% dominant and 50% recessive phenotype, then the original individual was heterozygous.
How can you determine that genotype of a plant that displays the dominant form of a trait?
Do a testcross with a homozygous recessive plant.
In bateson and punnett experiments on sweetpea to confirm Mendel's dihybrid testcross why it is not possible that the parental forms are much less than the recombinant forms?
no
