2 Selfing or test cross? Plants can be selfed
Homozygous plants (AA) are pure breeding Heterozygotes (Aa) will give 75% dominant (AA and Aa) and 25% recessive (aa) phenotypes in their offspring Animals are not usually hermaphroditic so they cannot be selfed Animals require a test cross to be carried out (these days use a gene probe). © 2016 Paul Billiet ODWS

3 Coat colour in mice Traits Alleles Genotypes Phenotypes Grey G GG White g Gg gg Grey mice could have one of two different genotypes, GG or Gg If they are crossed with a white mouse (gg) these genotypes will give two different results. © 2016 Paul Billiet ODWS
