MCQ
Test cross in plants or in Drosophila involves crossing
- Abetween two genotypes with recessive trait
- Bbetween two $F_1$ hybrids
- ✓the $F_1$ hybrid with a double recessive genotype
- Dbetween two genotypes with dominant trait.
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
the $F_1$ hybrid with a double recessive genotype
c
(c) : Test cross is performed to determine the genotype of $F_2$ plant. In a typical test cross an organism showing dominant phenotype and whose genotype is to bedetermined is crossed with one that is homozygous recessive for the allele being investigated, instead of selfcrossing. The progenies of such a cross can easily be analysed to predict the genotype of the test organism. Given ahead is an illustration of test cross:
