To perform a testcross, you need an organism that is heterozygous for a trait of interest (e.g., Aa), and a second organism that is homozygous recessive for that trait (e.g., aa). By crossing these two organisms, you can determine the genotype of the first organism and potentially predict the inheritance pattern of the trait.
To perform a testcross, you cross an individual with a dominant phenotype (but unknown genotype) with a homozygous recessive individual. By examining the offspring's phenotypes, you can determine the genotype of the unknown individual through the principles of Mendelian genetics. This allows you to determine if the individual is homozygous dominant or heterozygous for a specific trait.
There are eight possible phenotypic classes that can be generated from a three-point testcross: two parental classes and six recombinant classes.

To perform a testcross, scientists cross the organism with an unknown genotype with a homozygous recessive organism. This allows researchers to determine the unknown genotype based on the phenotypic ratios observed in the offspring.

The genotype of the tall pea plant is heterozygous!

Not necessarily. The offspring being alike and resembling the organism being tested is an indication of the parent being homozygous for the traits being tested, but it is not a definitive proof. Further tests or observations would be needed to confirm the parent's genotype.
