### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Terms**: - **Homozygous Recessive**: This refers to an organism that has two identical recessive alleles for a trait. For example, in pea plants, if we consider height, the homozygous recessive genotype would be represented as 'tt' (where 't' is the recessive allele for dwarfism). - **F1 Generation**: This is the first filial generation resulting from a cross between two parental (P) generations. The F1 generation is typically heterozygous for the dominant trait, represented as 'Tt' (where 'T' is the dominant allele for tallness). 2. **Identifying the Cross**: - The cross in question is between the F1 progeny (Tt) and a homozygous recessive parent (tt). This type of cross is specifically known as a **Test Cross**. ...
