Answer:heterozygous

Explanation:

The genotype of an organism is its genetic makeup which is characterized by the presence of alleles of a gene.

The genotype can be broadly of two types :

1. Heterozygous - when an individual has 2 different variants of a gene known as alleles, then the person is said to be heterozygous for that gene.

2. Homozygous - if both the alleles of a gene are the same, then the person is said to be homozygous.

Since in the given situation you have two different alleles - yellow and green represented by Y and y, the individual is heterozygous.

The more effective the drug, the inhibition zone will be greater. So the most effective antibiotic is the one that has the largest inhibition zone around the test site.
