The strain MAY not be true breeding for the

selected traits, but it will certainly help

make the population more uniform for that

trait.

CUBING AND BACKCROSSING

Our first cross between the Master Kush

plant and the Silver Haze is known as the F1

hybrid cross. Let us pretend for the moment

that both traits are homozygous for leaf

colour. The Haze is pale green the Kush is Dark

Green. Which one is MM or mm we do not know?

Until we see the offspring.

This F1 cross will result in hybrid seeds.

Now since M is dominant over m, then we will

know which colour is more dominant and from

which parent it came from. In the example let

us pretend that the overall results are pale

green. This means that the pale green allele is

dominant over the dark green.

M = Silver Haze pale green leaf trait is

dominant.

m = Master Kush dark green leaf trait is

recessive.
