A homozygous recessive as male parent
The genotype of the plant with colored seed and normal starch in the test cross would be AaBb. This genotype indicates that the plant is heterozygous for both the color gene (A) and the starch gene (B), with the recessive alleles for both traits being a (for color) and b (for starch).
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 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.
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
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.

A test cross.
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 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.
The homozygous recessive individual is used in a test cross to determine the genotype of an individual with a dominant phenotype but unknown genotype. When crossed with a homozygous recessive individual, if any offspring display the recessive trait, it indicates that the unknown individual is heterozygous for that trait.
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.
This procedure is called a test cross. By crossing an individual of unknown genotype with a homozygous recessive individual and analyzing the offspring, geneticists can determine whether the unknown individual is homozygous dominant or heterozygous for a particular trait.
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.
