Answer 1

The correct response is:

their genotype would be aa, and they would not be able to wiggle their ears.

In genetics, homozygous recessive refers to having two copies of the recessive allele (in this case, "aa"), which would result in the inability to exhibit the dominant trait (wiggling ears).
