Answer:
The test cross is an experiment first employed by Gregor Mendel, in his studies of the genetics of traits in pea plants. Mendel’s theory, which holds true today, was that each organism carried two copies of each trait. One was dominant trait, while one could be considered recessive. The dominant trait, if present, would determine the outward appearance of the organism, or the phenotype. Thus, Mendel became interested in the question of determining which organisms with the dominant phenotype had two dominant alleles, and which have one dominant allele and one recessive allele. His answer came in the form of the test cross.
