Test cross is a cross between homozygous recessive parent and $F_{1}$ offsprings. The genotypic ratio as well as phenotypic ratio of such cross is 1 : 1. [image:5c_image18.jpeg] Analysis of the given data in question shows almost 1 : 1 (94:89) ratio. Hence, the genotype of the two parents will be Tt and tt.
