no inheritance for this trait

Answer 1

its heterozygous and homozygous dominant

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answers are "heterozygous", and "homozygous dominant".

Step-by-step explanation:

Galactosemia is a condition where people are not able to process the sugar galactose. People with this condition have one gene mutated, which does not allow the proper synthesis of the enzyme that breaks down galactose. Galactosemia is inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic condition, therefore, only children that are homozygous recessive develop the condition. Children that are heterozygous or homozygous dominant, will not develop galactosemia.
