Answer:

Test-cross is often used to determine the genotype of parent that is dominant as we cannot determine that the dominant parent is homozygous or heterozygous for the trait just be looking at it.

In a test-cross, the dominant trait organism will be crossed with a recessive type organism. The results will predict the genotype of the dominant parent.

Some of the drawbacks of the test cross are:

a) It might be difficult to find a recessive type of the particular trait.

b) The result prediction can take a lot of time. This is because enough offspring have to be developed to predict the result which will take time.

In the United States, which climate types appear to be most affected by air masses

ivolga24 [154]

In the winter, cold, dry air masses tend to dominate the central and eastern United States as cold winds blow from the northwestern Canadian prairies. In summer, the warm southern winds blow moist, hot air into the eastern and central US, leading to days of high humidity and sultry conditions. In spring and fall, moving low and high pressure areas pull alternating warm and cold air masses across a given area, leading to a lot of variability in day-to-day weather.
