What is true about two brothers that have brown eyes?
One has genotype BB the other Bb.

• they have same phenotype and genotype
• they have different genotypes and phenotypes
• they have same phenotype but different genotypes
• they have same genotype but different phenotypes

What does heterozygous mean?

• An organism that has the same genes for a trait (TT or tt)
• An organism that has different genes for a trait (Tt)
• When neither gene is fully dominant; offspring is a mixture of both
• the different forms of a trait (hair color--> brown, blonde, red
