Answer: Heterozygote genotype

Explanation: A heterozygote is an individual that has two different alleles for a specific trait/gene. If a gene were to have two alleles, T and t, the heterozygote would be Tt because it has both alleles. As for the second part, a genotype is the genetic component of a trait. Say there was a gene that coded for two different fur colors (T (dominant) codes for black and t (recessive) codes for white). In this case, the phenotype would be the color of the individual's fur (white), while the genotype would be the alleles the individual had to make their fur white (tt).

Hope this helps!
