If a little boy inherits the
"A" allele from his mother
and the "a" allele from his
father, which type of the
following individuals is he?
A. a heterozygous individual
B. a homozygous dominant individual

In genetics, when you inherit 2 of the same alleles, it is called homozygous. When you inherit one dominant and one recessive, it is called heterozygous. A is correct.
