Answer: Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Heterozygous means that an organism has two different alleles of a gene. E.g an allele for Black is B and allele for white is b. If a cat has Bb, it has heterozygous alleles.

The momma cat is heterozygous because she has both allele for solid black and solid white.

Answer:

A. Heterozygous

Step-by-step explanation:

A heterozygous trait involves an organism having one copy of two different alleles.

The B- represents the solid color black trait

The b- represents the solid color white trait.

This is said to be a heterozygous trait because it contains two expressed traits.
