Introduction:
Testcross is the genetic cross between an individual that has the dominant phenotype in specific trait to a homozygous recessive for these specific traits. Testcross is used to identify the genotype of the individual carrying dominant phenotype, and also used to check the linkage between genes. Three cases arise when testcross is performed. These cases are: complete linkage, independent assortment, and incomplete linkage.
