Answer:

rr

Step-by-step explanation:

When a single trait has identical alleles it is said to be homozygous. An allele constitutes a specific gene, inherited from parents during reproduction. Alleles may be dominant (represented by two capital letters, RR) or recessive (represented by two small letters, rr).
