A test cross involves crossing an individual with unknown genotype with:

  • A Another individual of equally unknown genotype
  • B A known homozygous dominant individual
  • C A known homozygous recessive (aabb...)
  • D Another F1 hybrid from the same cross

Correct answer: C. A known homozygous recessive (aabb...)

Explanation: Test cross: unknown genotype x homozygous recessive. If offspring ratio is 1:1, the unknown is heterozygous; if all dominant, it is homozygous dominant.

Concept context

Mendel's laws, inheritance patterns, DNA structure, and molecular biology. Core of NEET biology.
