Can you accurately determine an genotype by observing its phenotype?

Yes. We can determine an genotype by observing it's phenotype by a "Test Cross".

If we cross between Homozygous recessive plant with dominant one, we can tell from the results of cross, that dominant individual is Homozygous or Heterozygous,.

Hope this helps!
