A **test cross** is the cross of an F₁ hybrid (or unknown dominant) with:

  1. Pure dominant parent
  2. Homozygous recessive parent
  3. Another heterozygous individual
  4. F₂ generation
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Homozygous recessive parent

Test cross = hybrid × homozygous recessive (e.g. Tt × tt). The progeny ratio reveals whether the dominant parent is TT (all tall offspring) or Tt (1:1 tall:dwarf), thereby disclosing the genotype.
