Question

If your genotype is BB, what type of trait would you express as a phenotype?

A. Dominant.
B. Recessive.
C. Both dominant and recessive.

Answer 1

If your genotype is BB, you would express the phenotype as A. Dominant.

In genetics, the phenotype is the physical appearance or trait that is expressed, while the genotype is the genetic makeup that determines the phenotype. If an individual has a dominant B allele and a recessive b allele, the dominant B allele will mask the recessive b allele and the individual will have the dominant phenotype
