The correct Answer is:
To analyze the genotype of an organism, the following steps can be taken: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Genotype**: The genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism, which can be homozygous (having two identical alleles) or heterozygous (having two different alleles). 2. **Identify the Organism**: Let's say we have an organism (e.g., a plant) that exhibits a dominant phenotype (e.g., tall). 3. **Determine the Cross**: To analyze the genotype of this organism, we need to perform a specific type of genetic cross. 4. **Perform a Test Cross**: The most effective way to determine whether the organism is homozygous dominant or heterozygous is to perform a test cross. This involves crossing the organism with a recessive individual (e.g., a dwarf plant). 5. **Analyze the Offspring**: - If the organism is **homozygous tall** (TT), all offspring will exhibit the dominant phenotype (tall). - If the organism is **heterozygous tall** (Tt), the offspring will show a 1:1 ratio of tall to dwarf (50% tall and 50% dwarf). 6. **Conclusion**: By analyzing the phenotypes of the offspring from the test cross, we can determine the genotype of the original organism. ### Final Answer: To analyze the genotype of an organism, it is made to **cross with a recessive parent** (Option B). ---
