Solution

The correct option is D reciprocal cross
The type of cross performed by the student is called reciprocal cross.

A pair of crosses involving male of one type and female of another type and then vice-versa is called a reciprocal cross.


If pollen from the tall plant is dusted on the stigma of dwarf plant in a cross, then its reciprocal cross would be the transfer of the pollen from dwarf plant to the stigma of the tall plant.

The crossing of an F1 hybrid with one of its parents is called a back cross.

In a test cross, the F1 hybrid is crossed with the recessive parent.
