The genotype of plant showing the dominant phenotype can be determined by 

  • test cross

  • dihybrid cross

  • pedigree analysis

  • back cross

Solution

A.

test cross

In Genetics, a test cross, first introduced by Gregor Mendel, is used to determine if an individual exhibiting a dominant trait is homozygous or heterozygous for that trait. More simply, test cross determines the genotype of an individual with a dominant phenotype. In some sources, the test cross is defined as being a type of back cross between the recessive homozygote and F1 generation
