Question

trait such as tt is said to be heterozygous
rr
rr
rt
pp
pp
tt
tt
homozygous
heterozygous

Explanation:

Response

To solve this, we first recall the definitions:

  • Homozygous: Genotype with identical alleles (e.g., \( RR \), \( rr \), \( PP \), \( TT \)).
  • Heterozygous: Genotype with different alleles (e.g., \( Tt \), \( Rr \) – though \( rT \) here is also heterozygous as alleles differ).
Step 1: Classify \( RR \)

\( RR \) has two identical dominant alleles. So it is Homozygous.

Step 2: Classify \( rr \)

\( rr \) has two identical recessive alleles. So it is Homozygous.

Step 3: Classify \( rT \)

\( rT \) has two different alleles (\( r \) and \( T \)). So it is Heterozygous.

Step 4: Classify \( pp \)

\( pp \) has two identical recessive alleles. So it is Homozygous.

Step 5: Classify \( PP \)

\( PP \) has two identical dominant alleles. So it is Homozygous.

Step 6: Classify \( Tt \)

\( Tt \) has two different alleles (\( T \) and \( t \)). So it is Heterozygous.

Step 7: Classify \( TT \)

\( TT \) has two identical dominant alleles. So it is Homozygous.

Final Classification Table:
GenotypeClassification
\( rr \)Homozygous
\( rT \)Heterozygous
\( pp \)Homozygous
\( PP \)Homozygous
\( Tt \)Heterozygous
\( TT \)Homozygous

(If the task was to sort into the two columns labeled "Homozygous" and "Heterozygous" in the image, the above table shows the grouping.)
