- C. Vigor, phenotype
- D. Vigor, genotype
Explanation
Mendel devised a cross called test cross, which is used to test the genotype of an individual showing a dominant phenotype. It is a mating in which and individual showing a dominant phenotype is crossed with an individual showing its recessive phenotype. This cross finds out the homozygous and heterozygous nature of the genotype.

About Inheritance
Mendel's laws explain segregation, independent assortment and the prediction of genetic ratios using alleles, genotypes and phenotypes. The chapter also covers linked genes, recombination and crossing over during meiosis, then applies pedigree reasoning to X-linked recessive traits, which show different inheritance patterns in males and females.
