Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Having two different alleles for a trait (example Hh):
A
homozygous
B
heterozygous
C
dominant
D
purebred
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike homozygous, being heterozygous means you have two different alleles. You inherited a different version from each parent. In a heterozygous genotype, the dominant allele overrules the recessive one. Therefore, the dominant trait will be expressed.

Detailed explanation-2: -A homozygous genotype contains two identical alleles. An individual can either be homozygous dominant (ex: HH) or homozygous recessive (ex: hh). A heterozygous genotype contains two different alleles (ex: Hh).

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Hh is an example of a heterozygous gene. A heterozygous gene is a gene that carries two different alleles and can be represented by a small letter and a big letter (Hh or hH).

Detailed explanation-4: -5. Would you expect the allele frequencies to change faster with selection against dominant phenotypes or recessive phenotypes? Explain your logic. Individuals with dominant phenotypes can be either homozygous (HH) or heterozygous (Hh).

Detailed explanation-5: -(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).
