Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A testcross is performed to determine the genotype of an individual. In this cross, the individual with the unknown genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual, and the phenotype of the offspring can reveal the genotype of the unknown individual. The other options (dihybrid, monohybrid, backcross, and controlled) are types of crosses, but are not specifically used to determine genotype.
