Genetic Crosses
Description
To dissect genetic processes or create organisms with novel suites of traits, scientists can perform genetic crosses, or the purposeful mating of two organisms. The recombination of parental genetic material in the offspring allows researchers to deduce the functions, interactions, and locations of genes.

Transcript
A genetic cross is the purposeful mating of two individuals resulting in the combination of genetic material in the offspring. Crosses can be performed in many model systems—including plants, yeast, flies and mice—and can be used to dissect genetic processes or create organisms with novel traits.
