In genetics, the terms dominant and recessive refer to the relationship between alleles.
- AA (homozygous dominant) has two dominant alleles.
- Aa (heterozygous) has one dominant allele and one recessive allele.
- aa (homozygous recessive) has two recessive alleles.
Both AA and Aa are considered dominant individuals, as they both express the dominant trait.
If you need to select one answer, you can choose:
A. AA is definitively a dominant individual.
However, B. Aa is also technically a dominant individual since it carries a dominant allele.
