Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following alleles is heterozygous?
A
Bb
B
BB
C
bb
D
B
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An organism with one dominant allele and one recessive allele is said to have a heterozygous genotype. In our example, this genotype is written Bb.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is D “Tt".

Detailed explanation-3: -Genotypes with two alleles that are the same, i.e. ‘BB’ and ‘bb’, are known as homozygous genotypes and genotypes with two different alleles are known as heterozygous genotypes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Predicting Offspring Phenotypes You can predict the percentages of phenotypes in the offspring of this cross from their genotypes. B is dominant to b, so offspring with either the BB or Bb genotype will have the purple-flower phenotype. Only offspring with the bb genotype will have the white-flower phenotype.
