Explanation / Answer
Answer) Heterozygous= Bb
Homozygous = BB or bb
Monohybrid cross = blonde mates brunette
Autosomal . = Not on sex chromosomes
Genotype = BB, BB or bb
Phenotype = blue or brown eyes
Gene = locus on a chromosome that codes for a given polypeptide.
Allele = males have only one for each gene on the X chromosome.
Dihybrid cross = blue - eyed blonde mates with brown-eyed brunette
