ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, this means there would also be having two different alleles for a trait. Offspring who have different alleles of a gene are described as heterozygous whereas those that have genotypes made of the same alleles (i.e. of a gene for a particular trait) are described as homozygous.

Detailed explanation-2: -Listen to pronunciation. (HEH-teh-roh-ZY-gus JEE-noh-tipe) The presence of two different alleles at a particular gene locus. A heterozygous genotype may include one normal allele and one mutated allele or two different mutated alleles (compound heterozygote).

Detailed explanation-3: -Homozygous traits are either a combination of the same two dominant alleles or the same two recessive alleles. A hybrid trait is also known as a heterozygous trait, and is the pairing of a dominant and recessive allele. The dominant allele always dictates the phenotype of the trait.
