Solution
The correct option is A The F1 hybrid with a double recessive genotype In a test cross, the F1 hybrid is crossed with a double recessive genotype. In testcross - the organism with the dominant trait is always crossed with an organism with the recessive trait. If any offspring show the recessive trait, the unknown genotype is heterozygous. If all the offspring have the dominant trait, the unknown genotype is homozygous dominant. Large numbers of offspring are needed for reliable results.
So the correct option is 'The F1 hybrid with a double recessive genotype'.
