Test Cross
- From what we have learnt, it is clear that though the genotypic ratios can be calculated using mathematical probability, but simply looking at the phenotype of a dominant trait, it is not possible to know the genotypic composition.
- Therefore, a test cross is performed between phenotypically dominant plant (whose genotype is unknown) and a recessive plant (whose genotype is obviously homozygous recessive).
- Result:
