Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Only individuals with an aa genotype will express a recessive trait; therefore, offspring must receive one recessive allele from each parent to exhibit a recessive trait.
Detailed explanation-2: -A homozygous genotype contains two identical alleles. An individual can either be homozygous dominant (ex: HH) or homozygous recessive (ex: hh).
Detailed explanation-3: -A genotype describes an organism in terms of its combination of genes. e.g. HH, Hh and hh are all shorthand descriptions for genotypes. An organism’s phenotype is a description based on its observable characteristics, i.e. what an organism looks like, as a result of its genes, interacting with its environment.
