testcross
A testcross is a genetic mating experiment used to determine if an individual exhibiting a dominant trait is homozygous (having two copies of the same allele for a gene) or heterozygous (having two different alleles for a gene). It involves breeding the individual in question with another individual who is homozygous recessive for the trait. The observable traits of the offspring can then indicate the genotype of the first individual.
