which of the following phrases can be used to describe the genotype Ee

Answer:
Heterozygous dominant
Explanation:
This means that the genotype has both alleles of the gene hence referred to as heterozygous. The dominant of the two alleles is the one that is expressed in the phenotype of the individual expressing the genotype. The effects of the recessive allele are masked by the dominant allele.
Answer:
The correct answer is option C. heterozygous dominant.
Explanation:
The heterozygous condition takes place when an individual carries two distinct forms or alleles of a gene. Here in question, the genotype given is Ee which exhibits that E and e are two alleles of a gene.
The dominant allele is the form of a gene that masks the other gene if it is in a heterozygous condition. It is symbolized with the capital letter of a particular form. The masked gene is symbolized with a small letter.
The given genotype Ee is heterozygous dominant because it has one dominant allele that will mask the recessive and express itself.
Thus, the correct answer is option C. heterozygous dominant.
