Answered

If you show the dominant trait, it is impossible for you to determine whether you are homozygous (with two
identical genes) or heterozygous (with
two different genes), unless it is known that one of your parents is homozygous
for the recessive trait. Why is that?

Final answer:

Dominant traits can be exhibited by individuals whether they are homozygous or heterozygous, leading to challenges in determining the genetic makeup without additional details.


Explanation:

Dominant traits are expressed in individuals regardless of whether they are homozygous or heterozygous, making it challenging to determine the genetic makeup without additional information. When a dominant trait is exhibited, it is not definitive whether the individual carries two identical genes (homozygous) or two different genes (heterozygous) unless one parent is known to be homozygous for the recessive trait, allowing for inference of the individual's genotype.
