Which diagram correctly shows how heterozygous alleles are found on homologous chromosomes?

Answer
A

B
Image with description One chromosome with lowercase a and lowercase a at the same position.
C
Image with description Two homologous chromosomes with lowercase a on both at the same position.
D
Image with description One chromosome with uppercase A and lowercase a at the same position.

Explanation

Heterozygous means having two different alleles for the same gene. Those alleles are found at the same position on a pair of homologous chromosomes, with one allele on each chromosome. Therefore, the diagram with uppercase A on one chromosome and lowercase a on the other is correct.
