    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.
