B.

C.
heterozygous

D.
female

E.
male

Answer 1

A.homozygous dominant

Answer 2

they would all be hetero

Answer 3

If it were homozygous dominant, it would mean that both parents would be dominant (i.e. genes would be AA, AA, AA, AA) in a Punnet square. In heterozygous, the genes in a punnet square go (Aa, Aa, Aa, Aa). This shows a recessive and dominant gene combined. Therefore, Callie is right. It's an example of heterozygous.
