In genetics, you have certain traits that give you certain features. You get one part from each parent. You may have a dad with brown eyes and a mom with blue. Your dad maybe BB or Bb, and your mom bb. Like in eye color, there's brown, blue, hazel, and other colored eyes. Brown eyes is a dominant trait. So it is homozygous dominant or heterozygous (homozygous dominant = BB, heterozygous = Bb). Blue eyes are a recessive trait (homozygous recessive = bb). So, homozygous are carrying one single part of the trait, and heterozygous is carring a part of both traits.

When allelic combination of dominant or recessive genes is similar at all loci, the individual is homozygous and when one of the component of allelic pair is different from the other at one or several loci the individual is heterozygous.

What is the breavation for heterozygous?
The abbreviation for heterozygous is "HET."

The heterozygous genotype
What is a non example of heterozygous?
Heterozygous
It an organism has two alleles that are different then the individual is?
heterozygous for that specific gene.
What does does heterozygous mean?
Heterozygous means that you are carrying 1 dominant trait and 1 recessive trait.If an allelic pair has one dominant and other recessive gene it is called heterozygous.
What heterozygous mean?
Heterozygous means that you are carrying 1 dominant trait and 1 recessive trait.If an allelic pair has one dominant and other recessive gene it is called heterozygous.
What does the notation Rr mean to geneticists?
The notation Rr indicates that an individual has one dominant allele (R) and one recessive allele (r) for a specific gene. This is known as being heterozygous for that gene. The dominant allele will usually determine the individual's phenotype.
What does it mean heterozygous for blood type A?
Body system
What does chromosomal loci mean?
Chromosomal Loci is a Heterozygous
What is the phenotype of heterozygous?
it would be whatever the dominant phenotype is... heterozygous would mean having Gg so if G is green and g is white you would have a green plant if the genotype is heterozygous codominance
What is the heterozygous for the A allele?
Heterozygous for the A allele means having one copy of the A allele and one copy of a different allele (e.g., a or B) at a particular gene locus. In genetics, the term heterozygous refers to an individual possessing two different forms (alleles) of a particular gene.
If Ted has blue eyes and Mary is heterozygous what is the chance that their offspring will have brown eyes?
Assuming that you mean heterozygous for blue/brown eyes, 50%.
How do you spell heterozygous?
That is the correct spelling of "heterozygous" (having variant alleles).
Does heterozygous mean same or different?
Heterozygous means different. It refers to an individual having two different alleles for a particular gene.
What do you get when a heterozygous plant breads with a short plant?
I assume you mean heterozygous dominant tall and short is recessive.T = tall.t = shortTt X tt (called a test cross )1/2 Tt-----------------------heterozygous dominant1/2 tt-----------------homozygous recessive
What does it mean to be heterozygous for a gene?
Being heterozygous for a gene means having two different alleles at a particular gene locus. One allele is dominant and the other is recessive. This can result in a combination of traits expressed in an individual.
