What does the term "homozygous alleles" mean?

• both alleles are different

• the gene is dominant

• both alleles are the same

What is a genotype?

If a gene is recessive, it means

• it will dominate

• it needs two equal alles to be expressed

• it won't pass

What does the term "Heterozygous alleles" mean?

• Both alleles are the same

• the trait is recessive
