A testcross determines what?

genotype


To perform a testcross scientists cross an organism with an unknown genotype with a organism.?

If an individual is of the dominant phenotype, its genotype can be either AA or Aa (letter A picked for demonstration's sake). To do a good test cross, we have to be able to unambiguously tell which one of the genotypes the individual is. The best test cross would be conducted with a homozygous recessive (aa) individual. This way, if the cross generates 100% dominant phenotype, then the original individual was homozygous dominant. If the cross generates 50% dominant and 50% recessive phenotype, then the original individual was heterozygous.


If all the offspring of a testcross are alike and resemble the organism being tested then is the parent homozygous?
