Test Cross
B=brown
b= blue
Test Cross:
•In certain cattle, the hair colour can be red- RR, white- R’R’, or
roan- RR’
•Cross a red bull with a white cow
•Cross an offsrping from the F1 generation with a white cow
Incomplete Dominance:
Phenotypes:
Lethal Genes:
Resulting offspring:
2 yellow to 1 grey
One genotype is missing
C Chance of having an
AB type baby is
25%
a) The offspring occur in three types, classified as long, round
and oval (intermediate), suggesting incomplete dominance
• Long (L) Round (L’) Oval (LL’) - heterozygous
Test this idea…. LL’ x LL’ Gives a ratio of 1 long to 2 oval to 1
round radishes.
b) (LL x LL), all the offspring will be
long.
c) (L’L’ x L’L’), all the offspring will be
round.
A) Since ¼ of the eggs don’t hatch – lethal gene
Crested (C) and non-crested (c) then both parents would have to
be Cc ( eg. Cc x Cc)
All the eggs with CC genotype would
not hatch
Viable offspring would hatch in a ratio
of 2 crested to 1 non-crested
B) Cc x cc
Ratio: 1Cc to 1 cc
1 crested to 1 non
A) Bull’s genotype RR, Cow’s genotype R’R’
B)
RR’ x R’R’
