A) Genotype refers to the actual genetic makeup of an individual, which includes the assortment of alleles (genes) that are present.
B) The same phenotype can be produced by different genotypes. For example, two different genotypes (BB and Bb) can both result in brown eyes.
D) In a homozygous pair of alleles, both alleles are the same, whereas in a heterozygous pair, the alleles are different (one from each parent). E is false because in a heterozygous pair, the alleles can be from either the maternal or paternal side. F is false because sometimes the homozygous and heterozygous phenotypes may be the same.
