Identify the incorrect statement regarding test cross?

1. It is used to determine the genotype of an individual exhibiting a dominant phenotype.

2. The testcross parent is always homozygous recessive for all of the genes under consideration.

3. The purpose of the testcross is to discover how many different kinds of gametes are being produced by the individual whose genotype is in question.

4. A homozygous dominant individual will produce two types of progeny and a heterozygous individual will produce only one type of progeny.
