Which of the Following Symbols Correctly Represents a Person Who

Question

Which of the following symbols correctly represents a person who has a homozygous genotype?
A)Ww
B)WW
C)XY
D)Wx

Accepted Answer

A homozygous genotype refers to an individual with two identical alleles for a particular gene. The symbol for a homozygous dominant individual is represented by two uppercase letters (e.g. WW), while the symbol for a homozygous recessive individual is represented by two lowercase letters (e.g. ww). Option A (Ww) represents a heterozygous genotype, option C (XY) represents the sex chromosomes and not a specific genotype, and option D (Wx) is not a valid symbol for a genotype in genetics.
