The below diagram represents:
Correct answer: B. Test cross
- A. Back cross
- B. Test cross
- C. Outcross
- D. Dihybrid cross
Explanation
In a test cross, a dominant phenotype individual is crossed with a homozygous recessive. As shown in the diagram one pair is recessive and the other has a dominant allele so, will have a dominant phenotype.

About Inheritance
Mendel's laws explain segregation, independent assortment and the prediction of genetic ratios using alleles, genotypes and phenotypes. The chapter also covers linked genes, recombination and crossing over during meiosis, then applies pedigree reasoning to X-linked recessive traits, which show different inheritance patterns in males and females.
