In a test cross, an individual with a dominant phenotype is crossed with which type of individual?
  1. Homozygous dominant
  2. Heterozygous
  3. Homozygous recessive
  4. Any individual

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a test cross, an individual with a dominant phenotype is crossed with which type of individual?
  • Step 1: Understand what a dominant phenotype is. This means the individual shows a trait that is dominant, like having brown eyes.
  • Step 2: Know what a homozygous recessive individual is. This means the individual has two recessive alleles, like having blue eyes.
  • Step 3: Realize that a test cross is used to find out the genotype of the dominant phenotype individual.
  • Step 4: To perform a test cross, you cross the individual with the dominant phenotype with a homozygous recessive individual.
  • Step 5: Analyze the offspring to determine the genotype of the dominant phenotype individual based on their traits.
