Pebbles · Answer 2

heterozygous / homozygous refers to whether both alleles for a gene are the same. The organism is homozygous if both alleles are the same - that is, either both are dominant or both are recessive. The organism is heterozygous if the alleles are different - that is, if one allele is dominant and the other allele is recessive ...

the answer to the questions is A. One parent was heterozygous for eye color and the other was homozygous with red eyes.
