Test cross involves

  • crossing between two genotypes with recessive trait

  • crossing between two F1 hybrids

  • crossing the F1 hybrid with a double recessive genotype

  • crossing between two genotypes with dominant trait

Solution

C.

crossing the F1 hybrid with a double recessive genotype

The test cross involves the crossing of F1 hybrid with a double recessive genotypic parent. By test cross, the heterozygocity and homozygocity of the organism can be tested.
Thus, the offspring will be 100% dominant, if the individual which crossed with recessive parent i.e., (tt) was homozygous dominant and ratio will be 50% dominant and 50% recessive if the individual was heterozygous dominant. In dihybrid test cross, ratio will be 1:1:1:1.
