Selfing or test cross? Plants can be selfed (crossed with themself!)
Homozygous plants (AA) are pure breeding Heterozygotes (Aa) will give 75% dominant (AA and Aa) and 25% recessive (aa) phenotypes in their offspring Animals are not usually hermaphroditic so they cannot be selfed Animals require a test cross to be carried out to determine phenotype © 2007 Paul Billiet ODWS
