5. Test crosses are performed to determine the genotype of an organism. A farmer buys a goat whose owner claims has sired fainting goats, through Gary has never actually fainted himself. What type of goat (genotype/phenotype) should the farmer mate with Gary to determine if Gary really is a carrier. Explain your reasoning by showing the cross.

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
