c) 90.3%

d) 9.7%

e) 4.8%

Expert Solution
Step 1

Test cross is the cross in which the unknown genotype bearing parent is crossed with a homozygous recessive parent. 

  • The test cross is used to identify the genotype of unknown parent.
  • Test cross can be used to find the genetic distance between two genes.
