The rules are:<br />

1. The plant with <strong>the</strong> dominant trait is always<br />

crossed with an organism with <strong>the</strong> recessive<br />

trait.<br />

2. If ANY offspring show <strong>the</strong> recessive trait,<br />

<strong>the</strong> unknown genotype is heterozygous<br />

3. If ALL <strong>the</strong> offspring have <strong>the</strong> dominant<br />

trait, <strong>the</strong> unknown genotype is homozygous<br />

dominant<br />

4. Large numbers are needed for reliable<br />

results.<br />

And this is your first step into <strong>the</strong> world<br />

of breeding because:<br />

(1) When you breed plants you want to continue<br />

a trait. Something that you like to see on your<br />

plant or taste with your plant or <strong>the</strong> height of<br />

your plant.<br />

(2) When you want to continue that trait you<br />

must know if it is Homozygous Dominant,<br />

Heterozygous or Homozygous Recessive.<br />

(3) You can find that out by running a test<br />

cross.<br />

So <strong>the</strong> question may arise. How do I breed<br />

for several traits? Like taste, smell, vigour<br />

and colour. Well that is a big question. Maybe<br />

to understand more about that we should learn<br />

more about Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium.
