A) Heterozygous
Explicación
## Step 1In genetics, the term "genotype" refers to the genetic makeup of an organism. This genetic makeup is represented by letters, where each letter represents a different allele of a gene. ## Step 2When an organism has two identical alleles for a particular trait, it is said to be homozygous for that trait. For example, if an organism has two copies of the same allele, such as "DD" or "dd", it is homozygous.## Step 3On the other hand, if an organism has two different alleles for a trait, it is said to be heterozygous. For example, if an organism has one copy of one allele and one copy of another allele, such as "Dd", it is heterozygous.## Step 4In the given problem, the genotype is "Dd". This means that the organism has one copy of the "D" allele and one copy of the "d" allele. Therefore, it is heterozygous.
