It is possible for two individuals to look alike for a trait but have different genotypes. What statement explains how this is possible?
Both are heterozygous for the dominant trait.
One is homozygous dominant and the other heterozygous.
One is homozygous dominant and the other homozygous recessive.
Both are homozygous for the dominant trait.
what is the correct answer?

Respuesta :

The answer is B: One is homozygous dominant and the other heterozygous.

A trait is a distinguishing feature of an organism. Genes or the environment, or more commonly, interactions between them, can determine traits. The genotype is the genetic manifestation of a trait. The phenotype is the genotype's outer expression.

One is homozygous dominant and the other heterozygous is a correct statement.

What is homozygous and heterozygous?

A Homozygous person has two identical (RR or rr) Alleles, whereas a Heterozygous person has different Alleles (Rr).

What is a dominant and recessive trait?

  • Recessive traits are those that are only expressed when two copies of the recessive allele are present in the progeny. A recessive trait is always homozygous for the letter 'aa.'
  • When the dominant allele is present in one or two copies, dominant traits are always expressed in the progeny. 'AA' or 'Aa' can be homozygous or heterozygous for a dominant trait.

Thus, we can conclude that option B is correct.
