Answer

(a) dominant-recessive

Work Step by Step

Homozygotes have a pair of dominant alleles for a trait, so they will show the dominant trait no matter what. Heterozygotes have a dominant and recessive allele, but still show the dominant trait because the dominant trait masks the recessive. Both homozygotes and heterozygotes will show the same phenotype despite the different genotypes.
