I'm pretty sure for this question, the answer wants TT for homozygous dominant. tt for homozygous recessive. Tt for heterozygous.

Kimberly Henderson · Answer 2

The trait is height of a person, tallness is dominant trait with allele T and recessive trait will be shortness with allele t.

Part a.

If a person is homozygous for tall trait, then it means it has two alleles which are TT.

Part b.

If a person is homozygous for shortness, then he has two alleles which are tt.

Part c.

If a person is heterozygous, it means has two different types of alleles which are Tt.
