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

Detailed explanation-1: -With eye color, for instance, “B” stands for a brown allele and “b” stands for a blue allele. An organism with two dominant alleles for a trait is said to have a homozygous dominant genotype. Using the eye color example, this genotype is written BB.

Detailed explanation-2: -An individual that contains two different alleles of a gene is heterozygous. A cow that has two alleles for a red coat is homozygous (bb). A bull with two alleles for a black coat is homozygous (BB). A calf that has one allele for red coat color and one allele for black coat color is heterozygous (Bb).

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The two gametes produced by the individual with the genotype Bb will be B and b, as shown in the picture below.

Detailed explanation-4: -Phenotype. The physical appearance of the genotype is called the phenotype. For example, children with the genotypes ‘BB’ and ‘Bb’ have brown-eye phenotypes, whereas a child with two blue-eye alleles and the genotype ‘bb’ has blue eyes and a blue-eye phenotype.
