In what way do homozygous and heterozygous genotypes relate to inheritance patterns?
What will be an ideal response?
Homozygous genotypes involve two identical alleles of a gene and usually result in influencing the phenotype by whatever characteristics are determined by that allelic form. Heterozygous genotypes depend on how two different alleles influence each other. The phenotype reflects only one of the two allelic forms: the dominant one. The recessive form shows no characteristics.
