Solution
The correct option is C The F1 hybrid with a double recessive genotype A test cross is a test used to determine the genotype of an organism showing dominant phenotype. It was introduced by Gregor Mendel. In this, the F1 hybrid is crossed with a parent having double recessive genotype. If the unknown genotype is heterozygous, the recessive trait will be present in half of the offspring. However, if the unknown genotype is homozygous, the dominant trait will be present in all the offspring.
