Solution

The correct option is B back cross
The crossing of F1 hybrid with one of its parents is called a back cross.

This includes crossing with either dominant or recessive parents.

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

Test cross and out cross are types of back cross.


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

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