DD and dd are the genotypes, with dd being recessive and DD being dominant. They are genotypes that directly impact risk factors for coronary artery disease and other circulatory problems.
Not necessarily. CC can be a homozygous genotype if both alleles are the same (for example, CC for a particular gene). However, CC can also represent a heterozygous genotype if it stands for two different alleles in a diploid organism (for example, Cc).
Yy is a heterozygous genotype. Homozygous would be YY or yy.
One can determine whether a genotype is heterozygous or homozygous by looking at the alleles present. If there are two different alleles for a particular gene, the genotype is heterozygous. If there are two of the same alleles, the genotype is homozygous.
The genotype of the individual is homozygous for the trait in question.
Heterozygous

Homozygous = identical allelesHeterozygous = different allelesEven though the genotype has two of the same letter, the difference in capitalization signifies they are different.Thus, Cc is heterozygous

homozygous- TT; heterozygous- Tt :)
50% of the rabbits will be cc and 50% of the rabbits will be Cc. The punnet square is simple because one rabbit is homozygous recessive and the other is heterozygous. The genotype is then defined by the heterozygous (Cc) rabbit.
The genotype of the individual is homozygous for the trait in question.
No, because it has the AA and the CC those are homozygous. The Bb is the only heterozygous trait, and there is only 1.
Heterozygous
Yes - Hh is heterozygous. HH is homozygous, and hh is homozygous.
Homozygous
The most accurate description of an organism with genotype AaBb is heterozygous. A homozygous genotype is aaBB and AA.
