Exploring the Frontiers of Genetics and Biotechnology

A .............is used to determine the genotype of a plant or animal

• inbreeding

• test cross

The offspring produced by .............are homozygous for most traits

• test cross

• inbreeding

What is the genotypic ratio of the offpring in the cross above ?

• 1:1

• 1:2:1

• all are homozygous recessive

• all are heterozygous

The cross could be used to determine the genotype of a parent with a dominant phenotype . What is this type of cross called ?

• a homozygous cross

• a heterozygous cross

• a test cross

• a parental cross

The result of this test cross would be

• 2Yy :2 yy

• 4 YY

• 1:YY: 2 Yy : 1 yy

• 4 Yy
