If you mate a homozygous dominant individual with a homozygous recessive individual, what will be the genotype of the F1 generation?

Answer: Heterozygou
Explanation

When a homozygous dominant individual mates with a homozygous recessive individual,


their offspring will all be heterozygous for that particular trait.


This results in a genotype of heterozygous (Aa) for all offspring.


Since the dominant allele masks the effect of the recessive allele, the phenotype of the F1 generation will exhibit the dominant trait.
