How to unit test the checkbox in Angular2

Question

I have a sample code for checkbox written with Angular2.

<div class="col-sm-7 align-left" *ngIf="Some-Condtion">
    <input type="checkbox" id="mob_Q1" value="Q1" />
    <label for="mob_Q1">Express</label>
</div>

I want to unit test the above checkbox. Like I want to recognize the checkbox and test whether it is check-able. How do I unit test this with Karma Jasmine?

Component, e.g. CheckboxComponent, contains input element. Unit test should looks like:

import {ComponentFixture, TestBed} from '@angular/core/testing';
import {By} from '@angular/platform-browser';
import {CheckboxComponent} from './checkbox.component';

describe('Checkbox test.', () => {

let comp: CheckboxComponent;
let fixture: ComponentFixture<CheckboxComponent>;
let input: Element;

beforeEach(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule(
        {
            declarations: [CheckboxComponent],
        },
    );

    fixture = TestBed.createComponent(CheckboxComponent);
    comp = fixture.componentInstance;
    input = fixture.debugElement.query(By.css('#mob_Q1')).nativeElement;
});

it('should click change value', () => {
    expect(input.checked).toBeFalsy(); // default state

    input.click();
    fixture.detectChanges();

    expect(input.checked).toBeTruthy(); // state after click
});
});
