a dominant allele paired with a recessive allele is considered what type of genotype?

Question

 Hi im a student needing help with my science homeworka and this a really confusing question

Answer 1

An allele pair including both a dominant allele and a recessive allele is called a heterozygous genotype.  Two dominant alleles are homozygous dominant, and two recessive alleles are homozygous recessive.  The prefix hetero- means "different," so you can remember that two different alleles is called a heterozygous genotype.
