Question
a rabbit has the genotype aa. select the word that best describes this genotype
a heterozygous
b homozygous dominant
c homozygous recessive
d hybrid
In genetics, when an organism has two identical alleles for a gene, it is homozygous. Since the alleles are dominant (represented by capital letters like A), the genotype AA is homozygous dominant. Heterozygous means having two different alleles (e.g., Aa), homozygous recessive would be two recessive alleles (e.g., aa), and hybrid is a general term often used for heterozygous organisms in a broader context.
