Gene Cross (born December 20, 1971) is a former American college and professional basketball coach, currently serving as a Director, Scouting & Administration for the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Aug 3, 2023 · A test cross is a genetic method for determining the unknown genotype of a dominant individual. It is a breeding method between a (known genotype) homozygous recessive individual with an individual of the opposite mating type with an unknown dominant genotype.
In other words, a dihybrid cross is a cross between two organisms, with both being heterozygous for two different traits. The individuals in this type of trait are homozygous for a specific trait. These traits are determined by DNA segments called genes.

The test cross is an experiment first employed by Gregor Mendel, in his studies of the genetics of traits in pea plants. Mendel’s theory, which holds true today, was that each organism carried two copies of each trait. One was dominant trait, while one could be considered recessive. The dominant trait, if present, would determine the outward appear...
Monohybrid Cross
The typical example of the test cross is the origin experiment Mendel conducted himself, to determine the genotype of a yellow pea. As seen in the image below, the alleles Y and y are used for the yellow and green versions of the allele, respectively. The yellow allele, Y, is dominant over the y allele. Therefore, in an organism with the genotype Yy, only the yellow allele is seen in the phenotype. Mendel had a yellow pea, and he wanted to know whether it was YY or Yy. This was important to M...
Dihybrid Test Cross and Beyond
This simple model works well for a single trait, but it can easily be expanded to encompass more traits. The dihybrid crossis a cross which looks at the cross of two separate traits with different alleles. Sticking with the pea color example, we will add a trait to the cross, let’s say shape. Peas can either be round and plump, or wrinkly. Round peas are dominant, created by the (R) allele. Wrinkled peas are only found in homozygous recessive individuals (rr). The following chart shows how to...
1. What is the purpose of a test cross? A. Determine the genotype of an unknown plant B. Produce “true-breeding” offspring C.Both 2. You perform a test cross on some hamsters. You want to know if your brown hamster carries the allele for albinism, a recessive mutation which causes no pigment production. Normal hamsters are BB, and recessive hamster...

A test cross is a way to explore the genotpye of an organism. Early use of the test cross was as an experimental mating test used to determine what alleles are present in the genotype.
Complementary gene action. The progeny of a dihybrid cross may produce just two phenotypic classes, in an approximately 9:7 ratio.
