Heterozygous (hybrid)

Homozygous (purebred)
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Purebred-Also called HOMOZYGOUS and consists of gene pairs with genes that are the SAME. Hybrid-Also called HETEROZYGOUS and consists of gene pairs that are DIFFERENT. Genotype is the actual GENE makeup represented by LETTERS. Phenotype is the PHYSICAL appearance of a trait, such as a YELLOW (or BLUE) body color.
Detailed explanation-2: -An organism can be either homozygous dominant (TT) or homozygous recessive (tt). If an organism has two different alleles (Tt) for a certain gene, it is known as heterozygous (hetero means different).
Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: Hybrid is heterozygous.
Detailed explanation-4: -When the GENOTYPE is made up of one capital letter & one lowercase letter (ex: Tt) it’s called HETEROZYGOUS ("hetero” means “other"). Just to confuse you, a heterozygous genotype can also be referred to as HYBRID.
