Dd

Explanation:

Heterozygous means an individual has the alleles for both the recessive and dominant traits, but only the dominant is expressed, so a heterozygous (Dd) and a homozygous dominant (DD) individual will not have the recessive disorder, because any dominant allele suppressed the expression of the recessive allele. Only a homozygous recessive (dd) individual will express the disorder.
