mated with each other
Replicate Crosses
Same cross repeated
Reciprocal Crosses
determines whether a trait is sex linked. If autosomal, should be same ratio no matter which
way cross is. If sex linked, there will be a difference in phenotype ratios
Test Crosses
Specific crosses to test hypotheses about genes.
