Which of the following represents a test cross? (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand what a test cross is. A test cross is a way to find out the genotype of an individual with a dominant trait.
  • Step 2: Know that the individual with the dominant trait could either be homozygous dominant (AA) or heterozygous (Aa).
  • Step 3: To perform a test cross, you cross the individual with a homozygous recessive individual (aa).
  • Step 4: If the offspring show only dominant traits, the original individual is homozygous dominant (AA).
  • Step 5: If the offspring show a mix of dominant and recessive traits, the original individual is heterozygous (Aa).
