In genetic notation, a homozygous genotype has two identical alleles. A dominant allele is typically represented by a capital letter.

• Option a) \(cc\) has two identical alleles but they are lowercase (recessive).
• Option b) \(Aa\) has two different alleles (heterozygous).
• Option c) \(BB\) has two identical capital - letter alleles (homozygous dominant).
• Option d) \(Dd\) has two different alleles (heterozygous).
