- You come across a pea plant with yellow round peas but you aren't sure about it's genotype. 1. a. What are all the possible genotypes this plant could have? I b. In order to determine which genotype is correct you could do a test cross. Use one of the genotypes from 'a' and write out a test cross and the predicted progeny. C. Use another of the genotypes from 'a' and write out a test cross and the predicted progeny, clearly indicating how the progeny would be different and in different proportions depending on the genotype from 'a'.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between a monohybrid cross and a dihybrid cross? A. A monohybrid cross involves a single parent, whereas a dihybrid cross involves two parents. B. A monohybrid cross produces a single progeny, whereas a dihybrid cross produces two progeny. C. A monohybrid cross involves organisms that are heterozygous for a single trait, whereas a dihybrid cross involves organisms that are heterozygous for two traits. D. A monohybrid cross is performed only once, whereas a dihybrid cross is performed twice.arrow_forwardIn humans, potential or expecting parents can be tested for the presence of the allele for the autosomal recessive cystic fibrosis.
