Question
How does a test cross help to determine the genotype of an individual?
✓
Answer
In a test cross the individual of unknown genotype is crossed with the recessive parent. If all progenies are dominant, then the genotype exhibits homozygosity and if the progenies have a dominant to recessive ratio 1 : 1, then the genotype exhibits heterozygosity.
