What is the difference between a homozygous trait and a heterozygous trait and can you please provide an example for each
a homozygous trait is when an offspring has either both dominant
genes or both recessive genes from its parents. a heterozygous
trait is when an offspring has both dominant and recessive genes.
for example: a long-tailed cat is dominant and a short-tailed cat
