A cross between a homozygous recessive and an individual of unknown genotype is called a test cross.
The homozygous recessive can only pass on a recessive allele to the offspring, and so any recessive in the other parent will show up in the phenotype (detectable characteristics) of some of the offspring.
a cross between an organism whose genotype for a certain trait is unknown and an organism that is homozygous recessive for that trait so the unknown genotype can be determined from that of the offspring
A testcross is a genetic cross between an individual with a dominant phenotype but unknown genotype and a homozygous recessive individual. This cross is used to determine the genotype of the first individual by observing the phenotypic ratios of the offspring.
Homozygous dominant individuals have two copies of the dominant allele for a trait, homozygous recessive individuals have two copies of the recessive allele, and heterozygous individuals have one copy of each allele. Homozygous dominant and heterozygous individuals will express the dominant trait, while homozygous recessive individuals will express the recessive trait.
A test cross between a homozygous recessive and a heterozygous individual will yield 50% of offspring as homozygous recessive. This is because all the offspring will inherit one recessive allele from the homozygous recessive parent.
if its 2 recessive allels together.

They are the same
Homozygous dominant individuals have two copies of the dominant allele for a trait, homozygous recessive individuals have two copies of the recessive allele, and heterozygous individuals have one copy of each allele. Homozygous dominant and heterozygous individuals will express the dominant trait, while homozygous recessive individuals will express the recessive trait.

RrYy. This is because the first parent is homozygous dominant for both traits (R and Y), while the second parent is homozygous recessive for both traits (r and y). Therefore, all offspring will inherit one dominant allele (R and Y) and one recessive allele (r and y) for each trait.
heterozygous recessive
if its 2 recessive allels together.
In genetics, homozygous genes are identical alleles, while heterozygous genes have different alleles. For example, TT(same alleles) is homozygous genotype, while Tt (different alleles) is a heterozygous genotype.
The botanist could perform test crosses between the green-pod plant and a known homozygous recessive individual. If all offspring show the dominant green pod trait, the green-pod plant is likely homozygous. If the offspring display a mix of green and yellow pods, the green-pod plant is most likely heterozygous.
In a test cross, an individual with a dominant phenotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual to determine the genotype of the dominant individual. In a back cross, an individual is crossed with one of its parents or an individual with a similar genotype to assess genetic linkage or to maintain a specific trait in offspring.
In a cross between a homozygous recessive parent (AA) and a heterozygous parent (Aa), the possible genotypes of the offspring are 50% homozygous recessive (AA) and 50% heterozygous (Aa). Therefore, the probability that an offspring will be homozygous recessive is 50%.
