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: -Synonyms: blooded, full-blood, full-blooded. of unmixed ancestry. pedigree, pedigreed, pureblood, pureblooded, thoroughbred.
Detailed explanation-3: -Homozygous, or homozygosity, refers to the inheritance of genes from each biological parent. The variant results from a mutation that changes the DNA sequence making up a gene. Experts refer to variations in genes as alleles. If the alleles are identical, a person is homozygous for that gene.
Detailed explanation-4: -Thus, a purebred would result when the parents are homozygous for certain traits. A purebred of domesticated animal or a pet animal can be achieved through the process of selective breeding. For example, two dogs of the same breed would have an offspring with rather predictable traits.
