Question

question 5
what is the genotype of an individual that exhibits an autosomal dominant trait?
either aa or aa
aa
aa
aa

Explanation:

In genetics, for an autosomal dominant trait, the dominant allele (represented as \(A\)) masks the recessive allele (\(a\)). An individual with genotype \(AA\) (homozygous dominant) will show the dominant trait. Also, an individual with genotype \(Aa\) (heterozygous) will show the dominant trait because the presence of the dominant \(A\) allele is sufficient. The genotype \(aa\) (homozygous recessive) shows the recessive trait.

Answer:

Either AA or Aa
