Solution
A test cross is a way to explore the genotype of an organism. Early use of the test cross was as an experimental mating test used to determine what alleles are present in the genotype. An organism's genetic makeup is called its genotype, and it reflects all of the alleles, or forms of the gene, that are carried by the organism. Consequently, a test cross can help determine whether a dominant phenotype is homozygous or heterozygous for a specific allele.
