A
Bb
B
BB
C
bb
D
B
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -According to the law of dominance, a trait is represented by two contrasting factors of a gene in a heterozygous individual while the homozygous individual carries two copies of same factors. Thus, the genotype of heterozygous rabbit will be Bb and that of homozygous recessive will be bb.

Detailed explanation-2: -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). Heterozygous individuals contain two different alleles which results in conflicting instructions.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer: Among the following genotypes the heterozygous genotypes are: 3. Aa and 4.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
