In a cross of Aa x Aa, what is the probability of having a heterozygous genotype?
Mystique T.
'A test cross is used to determine the genotype of an individual expressing a dominant PHENOTYPE for a particular character. To determine the genotype of an individual who shows this dominant phenotype; you would cross that individual with an individual who Select one: is homozygous recessive for that trait is homozygous dominant for that trait is heterozygous for that trait expresses the dominant trait'
