A. dominant.
B. homozygous.
C. recessive.
D. heterozygous

Answer 1

If a child has two genes for blonde hair (one from each parent), his genotype is said to be B. homozygous. Each gene in an individual has two alleles (different forms of the gene). If both alleles are the same, the genotype is said to be homozygous. If alleles are different, then the genotype is said to be heterozygous.
