Heterozygous

Explanation:

The genotype of a person refers to the alleles that an individual inherits from their parents that makes up the set of genes present in that individual. The genotype of a person is said to be heterozygous if the person inherits two different alleles of a particular gene from each of the parents. In the given situation, it has been mentioned that Howard's genotype is Bb and Bernadette's bb, when their daughter is born she has the genotype Bb and since, she has inherited two different alleles - B and b, this shows that her genotype is heterozygous.
