Answer:
AaBb × aabb
Explanation:
A test cross is a cross between an unknown genotype (dominant phenotype) with a homozygous recessive genotype in order to discover the actual genotype of the species exhibiting dominant phenotype.
This is because one allele of a gene is capable of masking the expression of another, the allele masking is called DOMINANT allele while the allele being masked is called RECESSIVE allele. The combination of these two alleles is termed heterozygosity.
An organism that is phenotypically dominant for a specific trait may either be heterozygous or homozygous for that gene. For example, a plant gene for tallness with an dominant allele T, and recessive allele t. This plant will need tall if the genotype is TT (homozygous dominant) or Tt (heterozygous dominant). In order to know which of these genotypes the plant actually has, a test cross is conducted.
In this example, two genes A and B are involved. For the first gene, A represents dominant allele while a represents recessive allele. For the second gene, B represents dominant allele while b represents recessive allele.
In a cross involving parents AABB (homozygous dominant for both genes) and aabb (homozygous recessive for both genes), the F1 progeny will all exhibit phenotypic dominance (AaBb).
However, we cannot know the genotype by merely looking at the phenotype. We cannot ascertain yet whether the dominance is heterozygous or homozygous, hence the need for a test cross.
The test cross is between the dominant F1 progeny and a homozygous recessive i.e. AaBb × aabb. Some of the F2 generation will show recessive traits if the unknown genotype is heterozygous.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
the littoral zone is close to the shore and is partially submerged with shallow water. It is the uppermost zone of the aquatic water body. It is the part of lakes, rivers, ponds and sea.
Answer:
Hey mate......
Explanation:
This is ur answer.....
<em>Respiration is the process by taking in oxygen and liberating carbon dioxide from the oxidation of complex organic substances.</em>
<em>Three types of respiration include internal, external, and cellular respiration. External respiration is the breathing process. It involves inhalation and exhalation of gases. Internal respiration involves gas exchange between the blood and body cells.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em>
