Solution

The ability to taste PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) is a genetic trait and is determined by a specific gene. This gene has two alleles: T (dominant) and t (recessive).

If you cannot taste PTC, it means you have the recessive trait, which is only possible if you have two copies of the recessive allele. Therefore, your genotype would be tt.

Please note that this is a simplification of the actual genetic mechanisms, which can be influenced by other factors and genes.
