Mendel`s Experiments and the Laws of Inheritance
... • Mendel verified his hypothesis by performing a test cross. • A test cross of an individual with a dominant trait with a true-breeding recessive (homozygous recessive: ss) can determine the first individual’s genotype [SS (homozygous) or Ss (heterozygous)]. • If the unknown is heterozygous, approxi ...
