When crossing an Aa individual (heterozygous) with an An individual (where 'n' represents a different allele, such as 'aa'), the possible genotypes in the offspring would be Aa, Aa, An, and An. This results in a genotype ratio of 2 Aa: 2 An, or simplified, 1 Aa: 1 An. Therefore, the expected genotype ratio in the next generation would be 1 Aa: 1 An.
The genotype of the P (parent) generation can be done by crossing an offspring from the F1 (first filial) generation with one of the gametes from the P generation and then calculating the genotypic and phenotypic ratios. Such an experiment is called a back cross
A genetic test cross is helpful in determining the genotype of an individual with unknown genotype by crossing it with a homozygous recessive individual. This allows the alleles to separate and be observed in the offspring, providing information on the genotype of the individual being tested.
To produce the F2 generation, an F1 generation hybrid from a specific cross (e.g., Aa x Aa) is self-fertilized or crossed with another F1 individual of the same genotype. This results in the F2 generation, which displays a variety of genotypes and phenotypes based on the segregation of alleles. The classic example is the monohybrid cross of Mendel's pea plants, where the F2 generation shows a phenotypic ratio of approximately 3:1 for dominant to recessive traits.
In a test cross, one individual with a dominant phenotype but unknown genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual. The genotype of the individual with the dominant phenotype can then be inferred based on the phenotypic ratios of the offspring.
Perform a test cross. Cross the organism with an organism with a homozygous recessive genotype and use the phenotypes of the offspring and a Punnett square to figure out the unknown genotype.

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.
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
Test Cross.
To produce the F2 generation, an F1 generation hybrid from a specific cross (e.g., Aa x Aa) is self-fertilized or crossed with another F1 individual of the same genotype. This results in the F2 generation, which displays a variety of genotypes and phenotypes based on the segregation of alleles.

In a typical monohybrid cross involving two heterozygous parents (Tt x Tt), the F2 generation would have a genotype ratio of 1:2:1 for TT, Tt, and tt respectively. This means that 25% of the F2 generation would have the genotype tt. Thus, the percentage of the F2 generation with the genotype tt is 25%.
In the cross BB x bb, all offspring in the F1 generation will have the genotype Bb, as they inherit one allele from each parent. None of the offspring will have the same genotype as either parent.
A test cross.
The recessive trait phenotype disappears in a one-trait test cross in the F1 generation. This phenotype can reappear in the F2 generation.
