<span>Okay, so we have one homozygous, the prefix "homo" means "same" and we know that the male's genotype is dominate, so with the prefix "same" or "homo" we know the male's genotype must be EE, and TT. We also know that the female's genotype is heterozygous, and knowing that "hetero" means opposite, we know that she has the two opposite types of genes Ee and Tt
