Question

what is the cross between the progeny of F1 and the homozygous recessive parent called? how is it useful?

Answer 1

The cross between the F1 progeny and the homozygous recessive parent is called TEST CROSS. It is useful to know the unknown genotype of F1 indvidual (or) phenotypically dominant parent.

Answer 2

Homozygous parent In F1 generation

Explanation:

• The crossing of an F1 progeny with a double (homozygous) recessive parental progeny is done in order to determine whether the progeny is homozygous or heterozygous for a character under consideration. This is known as a test cross.
• It was first presented by Gregor Mendel. Those that are heterozygous will have one prevailing and one passive allele people and those that are homozygous predominant will have two predominant alleles, and those that are homozygous passive will have two latent alleles. The cross is useful to determine the genotype of the unknown organism.
