Question

Which of the following genotypes would result in an organism having the recessive phenotype.


Heterozygous


Homozygous Dominant


Homozygous Recessive

Answer 1

An organism will exhibit the recessive phenotype only if it is homozygous recessive. Therefore, the genotype that would result in an organism having the recessive phenotype is **Homozygous Recessive**.

The other two genotypes, heterozygous and homozygous dominant, would result in the dominant phenotype being expressed.
