Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Your Alpha-1 genotype is FF. This means that you have two copies of the F mutation in your Alpha-1 genes. This is a rare form of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. The F mutation produces a dysfunctional alpha-1 protein product.
Detailed explanation-2: -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. 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.
