A Correct answer
Explanation

Each offspring receives two versions (alleles) for each trait - one from the mother and one from the father. These alleles may be identical (homozygous) or different (heterozygous), but there are always exactly two versions present for each trait in a diploid organism like humans. This is why the possible genotype combinations follow predictable patterns in inheritance.
