Test cross involves-
- ACrossing between two F1 hybrids
- BCrossing the F1 hybrid with a double recessive genotype
- CCrossing between two genotypes with recessive trait
- DCrossing between two genotypes with dominant trait
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
A cross of F1 hybrid with its recessive homozygous parent is called the test cross. It is done to determine the genotype of a given plant. If the given plant has homozygous dominant traits then on test cross it gives all dominant trait plants but if it is heterozygous dominant than it gives dominant and recessive phenotypes in 1 : 1 ratio.
