What is another word for test cross?
Pronunciation: [tˈɛst kɹˈɒs] (IPA) 
A test cross is a fundamental genetic tool used to determine the genotype of an organism by crossing it with a homozygous recessive individual. There are several other terms used to describe this process, including backcross, test mating, and screening cross. In a backcross, the organism of interest is crossed with one of its parents, while a test mating involves crossing the organism with a known heterozygous individual. A screening cross is similar to a test mating but is used to identify individuals with a specific desired trait. In all of these processes, the resulting offspring are analyzed to determine the genotype of the organism being tested.
