Answer:
Reciprocal crosses
Explanation:
Reciprocal cross is crossing in all possible ways. Such that a parent used as a male can be further used as a female while the parents used as a female can be used as a male. This cross helps to show if indeed the inheritance follows the simple mendelian pattern of inheritance if not the inheritance is somewhat complex and an allele of the gene has more domineering power over the other when used as a specific parents.
The first cross will be between the parental genotypes to obtain the first filial generation offspring. This crosses will be done on both ways
Example
AA × bb
Where AA is the female and bb is the male
bb × AA
Here bb has been used as female while AA is used as a male
If the offspring of the two crosses are the same there is no reciprocal difference and the pattern of inheritance is mendelian fashion if they are different there is reciprocal differences.
