Title: Describe the relationship between reproduction and genetic improvement.
Course: Biotechnology Foundations in Agricultural and Environmental Science (18308-II) > Section: Investigating Genome Sciences

Description should include

- how traits are inherited
- how genetic processes and structures control inheritance
- differences between dominant and recessive traits
- how genotype influences phenotype
- predicting probable results of single and/or multiple trait crosses.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How do genotypes influence phenotypes? Give examples.
- Using the Punnett square to predict the genotypes and phenotypes of the following monohybrid cross, (PP X pp), where PP is a true breeding purple flower and pp is a white flower, what are the probabilities associated with homozygous dominant offspring and heterozygous offspring in the F1 and F2 generations?
- What is a test cross? Why is it used?
- How does using a test cross determine the genotype of an individual?
